I got the same problem that my mouse clicks became useless after compiling an e-mail in Thunderbird. It looks like it happened when clicking on the Stardict application which was at the back of the compose window, and then before it could get focus, quickly clicked on the compose window again. After closing all windows (applications) one- by-one with the menu shortcut keys, the main menu reacted again on mouse clicks. After opening a Gnome Terminal window, the mouse clicks and even keystrokes are disabled again. Then, when killing the Terminal session from a tty terminal, the keyboard works again, but no mouse clicks on the window menus or statusbar have any effect.
I used the touchpad. dmesg: [ 5344.877418] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 6 [ 5344.878461] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio4/input0 lost sync at byte 1 [ 5344.881717] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio4/input0 - driver resynched.
