[Bug 546503] Re: HP touchpad-disable switch damages mouse and focus capability

[Erik Stambaugh]

It happened again, and this time I'm pretty sure it's not a kernel
issue.

After a reboot, I lost the ability to move the mouse cursor, except it
was working in GDM.  This time additional reboots are not fixing it.

However, I launched the xterm-only session from GDM, and was able to
launch Nautilus and my panels and any number of regular apps I use
without issue.  The mouse works fine.  But if I go back to a regular or
failsafe GNOME session, the mouse freezes up again.  Restart GDM, and I
can go back into an xterm session and the mouse comes back.

This bug is most likely in one of the background tasks that's launched
by gnome-session, and definitely (from what I can tell) not in the
kernel.
