[Linuxslate <johnapf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Same Computer as Morten Minke  (It's a Co-workers HP dv9000) and same
symptoms, including the inability to left click.

Fresh install of release version of 10.04LTS (never had any Ubuntu/Linux
before, whole hd for Ubuntu), problem not present or not noticed until
after doing the updates.

Switching to a psuedo term and back sometimes seems to fix it.

Also, due to some other problems, the keychain password and login
password were out of sync.  This seemed to be when the problem started,
and seems to have been fixed when either I fixed this, or when I did:

gconftool -s /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled -t
boolean true

Not sure if the keychain stuff is relevant, but Gnome is so integrated
with everything these days.  Perhaps it thinks my input device
preferences should be secret.

Interestingly, I have rebooted, and completely shutdown several times,
and it now seems fine without doing the gconftool line again.
