I have a system lock as soon as I login under xfce4 or xfce4-desktop. The unity logins are OK.
I had to reinstall ubuntu 12.04 and then installed xfce4 according to : https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/first-xubuntu I have run xfce4 fine before this so I suspect it is a recent problem. I will try another install of xfce4 tomorrow and see if I can make any progress.

I'm talking about the touchpad and not the external mouse. The first thought would be to check whether we have given the option to lock the touchpad while typing. But, my pointer (touchpad) gets stuck simply often. The slightest of deductions I have been able to make is that this happens sometimes just after using the touchpad scrolling.
