Something similar happened to me many a moon ago, and it was due to the fact that I had inadvertently turned on "Allow to control the pointer using the keyboard" in System - Preferences - Keyboard - Mouse Keys (Gnome) I turned off what I'd accidentally turned on (you may be wondering how I fortuitously turned on such a functionality, buried as it is deep in a configuration menu, but I managed to do it with a series of not very felicitous keyboard combinations while editing a file or playing Bzflag or something.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
