The text of a comment to the Synergy+ bug I referenced above. This may help as well.
I've been using synergy with Ubuntu as both server and client for many years; I just updated to Karmic and started getting these messages. Googling for the error messages brought me here; I have updated to synergyplus. I think it happens when the client X Server doesn't think the connected mouse (mice) have as many buttons as the mouse on the server has; clicking one of the extra buttons just results in an error. I verified this with 'xte' from the 'xautomation' package; running xte and typing 'mouseclick 6' simulates clicking the extra button on the mouse, and resulted in the same error. Since my client machine was a laptop with a touchpad, what I did was to enable the "horizontal scrolling" feature in Gnome's Mouse Preferences panel, then use the horizontal scroll feature for a second. This seems to have persuaded my client X Server that it now has lots of mouse buttons, and I can somewhat reliably use my extra mouse buttons through synergy.
