Yea, that's Murphy's law. Whenever it happens again, I'd wonder if plugging in-out your mouse would help, or plugging in another pointer device. Although if it affects the whole Gnome session... does the keyboard still function? Meaning: is the whole Gnome session getting f-ed somehow or it's something with the input device section or the USB hub or something... dmesg may help whenever it happens again. By Murphy's law we have to stop talking about it for it to happen again :D
