Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
I'm running Ubuntu Dapper and "sometimes" X just stops sending any mouse
events (or so it seems). This usually seems to be triggered by using
rdesktop. At some point, my desktop becomes unusable. I can see the
mouse pointer move, but I can't click on or interact with anything. If I
manage to get the focus to a window, the keyboard works fine. Restarting
metacity, gnome-panel, nautilus, ... doesn't seem to change anything.
Usually, I end up killing X to get things working again. ...except the
last time, I was able to start a new terminal using the keyboard only
and it "unlocked the mouse" -- and everything started working fine
again.
There is no simple step to reproduce the problem, but rdesktop seems to
make it happen more often. I have confirmation from another use who
observed the same kind of behaviour on his machine (also seemed
rdesktop-related).
