Description of problem: The problem happends one or two times a week (i use Fedora 10hours/day at work), my laptop is halt every evening and restart each morning. This bug appear from 2-3 month ago. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-applets-2.10.1-9 xorg-x11-6.8.2-37.FC4.49.2 gnome-desktop-2.10.0-5 How reproducible: Use the gnome desktop switching applet, sometimes the cursor became the "move cursor" and mouse cursor still move, but haven't any action on click. Steps to Reproduce: 1.I'm on workspace 4 2.I click on the workspace 1 using the gnome desktop switching applet 3. Actual results: Most of time it works, but sometimes it switch and display the "move cursor" without any more mouse action possible. I can switch between the dialog of the window displayed with tab, i can execute keyboard shortcuts actions, enter text, ... ALT-TAB won't work, Alt-MidleMouse click won't resize the window, ... Expected results: Normal desktop switching, with mouse active, and the normal "Arrow cursor". Additional info: It's on my laptop i have an IBM trackpoint and a usb mouse, both of them haven't any action on click. Other application open: firefox oowriter vnviewer evolution xterm gnome-terminal grep Protocol /etc/X11/xorg.conf Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2" You can see the screenshot attached, don't take care about the exact "move cursor" icon, i grab one from the Internet and paste it from gimp to show you the result.

Happend to me once, too. I can't recall the exact scenario, might be totally unrelated. Pressing Alt+F7 or Alt+F8 turned the cursor back to normal (not sure which one).
