Clixserver has been so temperamental.  It often happens when new clients are added, that a couple of people will have their CliX get hung up in between "mouse ready" and "keyboard ready".  (Everyone else will be fine and clicking away.)  I can't identify an obvious reason (e.g., they are listening on the wrong port number).
It seems more likely to happen if mini-Audicle is on or was used recently.  Is that plausible?  (Obviously we're not running CliX in mA, since KBHit doesn't work there.)

thanks in advance,

david
