I've got part of this bug too, in 8.04.  Most of the time, my MX5000
keyboard and MX1000 mouse connect on startup just fine, but after they
go to sleep (~15 minutes away from the computer), I lose connection.  I
have another mouse handy so that I can open up the bluetooth preferences
and reconnect the devices (simply clicking "disconnect" then wiggling
the mouse/hitting a key seems to work).  Then, I need to restart X so
that all of my mouse buttons work properly.

It seems as though there are two parts to this problem:
1) bluez doesn't know when devices disconnect.  Since they reconnect 
automatically if I disconnect them manually, it seems as though automatic 
detection of the disconnect would solve most of the problem.
2) When a device disconnects, Xorg unloads the driver, as seen in this portion 
of my Xorg.0.log:

(EE) Read error: No such device (19, -1 != 16)
(II) Logitech MX1000: Off
(II) Logitech MX1000: Off
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

Is there a way to stop X from unloading modules and switching off input
devices?
