I have got the same problems as you describe above. Did you receive an
answer? How did you solve your problem?
So far I didn't check with every program, but the mouse problems and
apps forgetting how to behave as configured are the same.
Some window tells me that gconf probably is misconfigured
I took the blfs-2.14 instructions but a recent package for installation
- and changed only the sysconfdir from /etc/gnome/2.14.3 to /etc/gnome
./configure --prefix=$(pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0) \
--sysconfdir=/etc/gnome \
--libexecdir=$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/lib/GConf \
--mandir=$(pkg-config \
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0)/share/man &&
