This is still happening for me, even now in 12.04.1. I've tried EVERY workaround suggest above (and some more fooling with xorg.conf.d stuff) to no avail. Restarting x-server is the only thing that works even temporarily (lasts an indefinite amount of time, then bug resurfaces). Is there really no advance on this OLD and VERY ANNOYING bug? It's a pretty serious issue.

If it helps, this bug is DEFINATELY something to do with the touchpad drivers (I imagine synaptic, as I've got that installed). If touch pad is disabled and an external mouse is used, then after x restart, the external mouse functions fine. It is only when the touchpad is enabled that this bug returns...
