My friend has this weird problem too. Mouse clicks stop working randomly without any apparent reason, while he can still move the pointer. Keyboard works, but Alt-Tab stops working too, so that it becomes impossible to switch between windows. Looks like a problem with window manager, but this happens both with metacity and compiz. If I connect to his desktop via VNC, I cannot click anything either, Alt-Tab doesn't work for me too. Xev doesn't show any mouse events, event mouse movement over the window. If the mouse is re-plugged, everything starts working again.

Using 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 and latest (260.19.21) NVIDIA driver installed by hand (just becuase GeForce GTX 460 isn't supported by any driver available in Ubuntu repos). Otherwise the system is untouched.
