Hang on a moment!  ... lately I've been having a similar problem
with my Logitech (USB) optical wheel mouse. There are times
the pointer would freeze, or I would not be able to do anything
with mouse clicks, *or* the wheel... The only workaround is for
me to uplug it from the hub, and then plug it in again.

I hadn't mentioned this before, as I had intended to post a 
*query* to the list asking if anyone would think the mouse
was failing, but now that I see your message I'm not alone with
this problem.

The latest patches, etc , have been applied via the beta channel
and up2date.

Elton.
