Comment 1 for bug 152802

I'm getting the same problem here. Running 7.10, didn't notice this issue happening when running 7.04 (but that may be a coincidence - I installed gnome-launch-box only a few days before I upgraded).

It seems for me more like 1/3 of the time gnome-launch-box opens but then doesn't get keyboard input requiring that I kill it. It seems to work all the time if I open it up again right after I have killed the process.

Like the user above I'm using compiz to launch the application. I can try using the application without compiz enabled to see if I get the same issue.
