  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  Following an online update from Kubuntu Lucid to Maverick beta, use of
  almost any of the 'special' buttons on the keyboard (mail, home,
  documents, play/pause, volume up, zoom in...) fires a ButtonPress event
  (as seen by xev) for the physically left mouse button (i.e. left click
  with the mouse set right-handed, 'right click' if set left-handed).
  There is no corresponding ButtonRelease, so the computer acts as if that
  mouse button is held down. The ButtonPress occurs between the KeyPress
  and KeyRelease events of the special key.
  
  This makes the mouse essentially unusable. So far, I've not found a way
  to reset it besides logging off (i.e. restarting X).
  
  Hardware:
  - Basic Microsoft keyboard and mouse (optical wheel mouse, Digital Media Keyboard 3000)
  - Intel graphics (lspci says it's an 82G33/31 integrated graphics controller)
  
  Initially I thought the problem was related to kwin compositing (which
  also causes some problems, see bug 630632 ), but I've found it happening
  even with desktop effects turned off.
  
  I don't know if xorg is the best package to file this against, so if
  not, please point me in the right direction.
