Is this error seen after running a stack trace? If so have you submitted a bug report to Alias? Ensure to install all the required packages (ie: GCC, glibc, etc) as per http://www.alias.com/glb/eng/support/maya/...dware/index.jsp

Running a Maya crash report:
Set an environment variable MAYA_DEBUG_ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING before running Maya, if Maya does crash you will get a stack trace. If not and its reproducible, then running under gdb will generally give you the stack trace "maya -d gdb" (with out quotes).

This information can be found in "Maya Help/Developer Resources/Environment Variables/Setting environment variables using Maya.env" and "Maya Help/Developer Resources/Environment Variables/General variables". Anyway, open the "Maya.env" which should be located in "/home/username/maya/7.0/Maya.env" and edit with your preferred text editor (Kwrite, Kate, etc) to include the following MAYA_DEBUG_ENABLE_CRASH_REPORTING = 1 which will enable this variable and use the value 2 to disable the variable. When Maya encounters a fatal error, this variable writes a crash report file (.crash) in the current working directory. This file contains a detailed description of what Maya was doing when the failure occurred.

In the past I've found that most of the X_SetInputFocus problems appear to be a conflict with the KDE klipper applet. Assuming you are running KDE, I would suggent trying to disable klipper and see if that helps. The Maya 7 qual page has a note of this and one method of turning it off
