Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

If a file on the desktop has the pointer focus at the time of a suspend,
nautilus will fail to release the pointer on resume. On resume, it will
appear as though the mouse is dead because attempts to refocus by
clicking on other windows will have no effect (the pointer moves just
fine). In the past I assumed it was a problem with the mouse driver and
would kill and restart X fixing the problem. I just noticed however that
when this happens the mouse pointer is stuck on a file on the desktop
(the file icon is shaded). Opening a terminal via the keyboard (alt-F2,
type gnome-terminal) and issuing a "killall nautilus" releases the mouse
pointer and everything works fine after that. I am using a Dell X1
laptop with edgy.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
