I have the same problem with a Dell D610 Latitude. The Dell has a built
in touchpad and a nipple or Trackpoint both with their own buttons. I am
able to direct the mouse with the nipple under the 2nd user but this is
largely useless as the buttons on don't work. It could be that the
buttons are not actualy implemented and so are using the same input as
the touchpad.
Logging out as the 2nd user and back in as the 1st and normal operation of
touchpad and mouse buttons returns.
External USB (Optical MS) works for all users.
I'm on feisty, and prior to upgrading was on dapper which also had the same
problem.
