(Get the code!)
discussion from IRC some time ago:
"<ploum> For a few weeks, I experience a random mouse-click freeze in dapper
<ploum> The click is not responding on my mouse anymore
<ploum> and the workaround is to type a shortcut key (for exemple switch desktop key) and that's all
<seb128> check the mouse cable? :)
...
<seb128> do you have the click event to xev when that happens?
...
<ploum> seb128: it's very difficult because it must happen with a xev already openend ! (as the keystroke solve the problem)
<seb128> ploum: run an xev on every desktop until that happens next time :p
...
<ploum> seb128: YEAH ! I was able to reproduce my bug with xev !
<ploum> (alt+F2 doesn't deblock my mouse)
<ploum> and no xev event for the mouse click"
in case somebody was tempted to reassign it to GTK :p
