Another user of a Logitech USB mouse (MediaPlay) here. I've found that running `modprobe -r usbhid && modprobe usbhid` works as a temporary fix.
I've also noticed that the mouse focus is, at least in some cases, "stuck" on a particular window. For example, if I double-click on the focused window (when this bug is active) there will be no perceivable effect on that window. However, sometimes the response to that mouse action (e.g. text selection) will be apparent on another window when I switch back to it with ALT-TAB.
Like DJ I'm running a (mostly) regularly updated 10.04 and have started experiencing this problem within the past month or so. After restarting X it will often take a long time for this to start happening (days, weeks) but once it starts it will keep happening quite often. I'm finding that using the `modprobe` workaround will only be effective for about an hour or so.
