hmm, what occasionally happens to me (like, a few times a year, not every day) is that my mouse cursor will decide to crawl slowly to the top of the screen, and if there's virtual desktops above then of course it crawls into them as well and keeps on going. Picking the mouse up off its mat and gently shaking it seems to discipline it and it behaves properly again. maybe my mouse has a dirty roller, maybe its a driver problem, maybe I forgot to wear deodorant those days and it's trying to escape; damn rebellious intellimice.
