11.10 and this is back. Just installed Ubuntu today. Set the mouse to
left handed, worked fine. Rebooted, and it's never worked again. xinput:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Kensington      Kensington Expert Mouse 	id=8	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Microsoft Natural® Ergonomic Keyboard 4000	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]

Title:
  Left handed mouse settings no longer working after system update

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  1) Release info: Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)

  2) GNOME 2.27.91

  3) Desription: As of this morning, after updating my system using the
  update manager, my mouse switched from being lefthanded to a
  righthanded one.

  Tried to resolve this using the System>Preferences>Mouse menu
  (process: gnome-mouse-properties), but in the settings the lefthanded
  mouse was already checked. Switching back and forth and even a restart
  in between did not change the mouse to become lefthanded again

  4) Mouse switched from lefthanded to righthanded (after system update
  using the update manager), and could not be reset to lefthanded using
  System>Preferences>Mouse menu
