Yes; I was running latexmk.  With the -pvc option the situation was 
intolerable:

latexmk -pvc -dvi -pdf mydocument.tex

That is why I closed the xdvi window, but quickly discovered that the 
process which calls xdvi still was running.  Restarting the computer 
solved the problem.  I did not try simply restarting xfce.

A month ago I was using latexmk with the same options on this machine.  
I seem to recall an occasional jump back to the xdvi window, but not the 
constant jumping back I was seeing today.  So I think that the new 
Cherry keyboard must be the culprit.
