Here is how I solved this in Ubuntu 10.04. First, thanks for the tip above to use Ctrl-Alt-Left Click for mouse clicks (Note: try also Ctrl- Shft-Left Click, whichever work). This workaround enabled me to do:
Applications > Ubuntu Software Centre> Search for COMPIZ > install "Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm) (Configure Compiz with CompizConfig)". Then, in top Gnome panel, go to System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager > Preferenc (note typo in the UI; it's a gray button in left frame, below "Window Management") > Clear the check box next to "Enable integration into desktop environment". Mouse buttons started to work normally again! It seems to me like the bug might be in the Compiz "Enable integration into desktop environment" in Ubuntu 10.04 (and higher?). I wish I was technical enough to try verify myself. Thanks in advance for looking into it. -- Desktop-Effects Bug.
