Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

I have a USB Microsoft Media Keyboard with Mediakeys and a wireless
Logitech Revolution MX attached to my Dell StudioXPS 1640 Laptop. Every
time I press a mediakey on the external keyboard, the left mouse click
doesn't work on neither the external mouse nor the internal touchpad.
Right mouse click does work fine. If I press any mediakeys on the laptop
itself, everything is working fine.

The only way to get the mouse working again is to pull the keyboard for
a second and reattach it. The next left mouse click is not recognized
then, but all following are recognized again.

I've worked through https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting, but had to 
skip the "sed"-filter on xev to get any results at all. Here is the abbrived 
output:

My global hotkeys are mapped to the according XF86-Keys (e.g. "Volume
Up" => XF86AudioRaiseVolume). This is a regression from Ubuntu Lucid,
where everything worked fine. I have this faulty behavior since Maverick
alpha-3 or -4.

Any Ideas how to tackle this?
