[Bug 118470] Mouse clicking / Drag n Drop problems

[muesli]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdebase

Using Kubuntu feisty, I experience mouse problems since a while.
Dragging a link from Konqueror to some other window (e.g. konversation
or kopete), causes weird painting issues. See:
http://www.chris.de/drag.png

Also, selecting text and pasting it somewhere with a middle-click stops
to work after using the system for a while (it works after a fresh
reboot again). Sometimes, even just clicking links with a simple left-
click in Konqueror breaks: I click the link (and release the mouse
button, of course), it starts a drag n drop action, and then the only
way to gain control over your system again is to press escape on your
keyboard. Otherwise you can only see the drag n drop style mouse pointer
and move your cursor around, but no keys or clicks would do anything.
Once I pressed escape, everything returns to normal and Konqueror opens
the link in a new tab, weirdly enough.

I tried resetting the mouse config in kcontrol several times and even
reverted to a plain kde config by wiping my entire ~/.kde... no luck
sadly.
