I have the same problem: when gnome typing monitor brake finishes and the screen is released, the buttons of the mouse does not work anymore.
I'm using Ubuntu 6.10 and my mouse is and A4 NB-20. The settings of the typing monitor are 48 mins to block and 12 mins, and doesn't matter if the allow to pospone is activated. I have to reset the system to recover the mouse. -- gnome typing monitor does not return mouse pointer after a break https://launchpad.net/bugs/37644 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
