And yes... unplugging and plugging back in the keyboard seems to work.
Before the only way I could do it was by going to gnome-do and typing
"logout" and logging back in again.

  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?
