mouse lockup again ....

[William A. Mahaffey III]

.... I just had another instance of my mouse locking up upon restart 
from a period of inactivity. It happened to leave me in a screen logged 
in as root, but I didn't know how to do anything to try to restart the 
mouse. The relevant lines from my messages file are below:

i.e. six days of nothing to report, then mouse events at the time I 
tried wiggling the mouse to wake the screen back up, then a hard reset 
after I got logged back in & brought up the XFCE desktop, only to have 
the mouse hovering over the vidalia dialog box, so that CTRL-ALT-DEL 
wouldn't reboot :-/ .... Are there any keystrokes under XFCE to change 
desktop from the keyboard ? I can post my xorg.0.log, but no errors 
reported:

I can post whatever is needed to help debug this ....
