I have no idea why this is happening to you, I am using 0.5.3.1 and also 6.0 and do not have this occur.
I do have this related problem, however:
I cannot resize windows, or drag them around with the titlebar. Only happens on one machine, where I have a serial mouse. I don't have a ps-2 mouse port, or a USB port, so I am stuck with a serial mouse. I think they call this a bus mouse, too.
Anyway, I can open a rxvt terminal, and type "mouseconfig", and get all kinds of choices to set up the mouse. This won't work, apparently, in DSL, and we use the choices given at bootup of DSL.
The problem may be related to the mouse setup on this one machine.
If I try and drag the window around, then the open window "flashes" or
something like that, and won't move.
I do have a working mouse, it just cannot do everything one usually gets to do on a Linux or DSL installation. I get along with it, however.

We need more choices at bootup of DSL, to allow us to pick all of the mouse selections offered by mouseconfig.
---
There is the possibility that there is a Knoppix cheatcode for it, but I have not found it.
---
Also, I cannot "select text" with the mouse, for instance if I wanted to
select part of this post, I cannot.
---
I am assuming this is all mouse driver related, and if I could select the correct driver for my mouse in DSL, then all would be fine.
