Mouse pointer freezing in f12 and f11

[Rodd Clarkson]

I've had a problem with X in f12 or some time that sees the mouse
pointer freezing.  I'm now having the same issue in f11.

I'm happy to file a bug in bugzilla, but I'm hoping someone mught be
able to point me in the right direction.

After some time after running X the mouse pointer will freeze.
Switching to a VT doesn't help, but I can use the keyboard to close apps
and do a little navigation.  Also pushing the power button will see a
dialog to allow me to shutdown, suspend, etc.  I can suspend and resume
and this fixes the problem.

I'm not however convinced that it's an X bug.  I think it might be
related to bluetooth (I believe that my mouse and keyboard have
something to do with bluetooth on this laptop) and that the suspend
resume cycle restarts bluetooth and fixes the problem.

Could this be right.  Or should I just file against X.
