I've tried using several different USB mouses all of which are wired & 
it occurs on them all.

This machine was upgraded to 13.10 from 13.04 on the day 13.10 became 
available.

I can't recall seeing anything in recent updates that would've affected 
it. I've ran 'git log' in etckeeper to double check. Nothing stood out.

This problem only appeared yesterday & is a gradual thing i.e. it'll 
first become difficult to click, say, a URL then the right-click will 
stop working & finally both clicks will become non-working.

Cheers,
