I just had the same issue after using Ctrl-Alt-E: The Alt-key up event was lost
and the cursor was stuck in the "hand" state. I was able to get rid of it by
switching to full screen (Ctrl-ALt-F) and hitting both Alt keys a couple times.
Soon Alt-Tab worked in the client and then I could also dismiss the Ctrl-Alt-E
notification.
