<font face="tahoma,sans-serif">I spoke too soon. The problem is back in Ubuntu 10.10. But I'm finding the mouse clicks are selectively unresponsive. Jut now, open applications wouldn't respond to mouse clicks, but items in the Gnome panel would. Then I did a right-click in the panel and selected "About". Now the panel doesn't respond to left-clicks, but open applications do. I'm not finding anything in Xorg logs or messages that would help in understanding this.<br>

I solved the problem in an unfair way. I upgraded Ubuntu to Maverick<br>
10.10. No more problems.<br>
