window changing problem

[Damon Fryauff]

I had something very similar with a small mouse I had plugged in. I still
don't know why it was doing that but a full sized wireless mouse worked fine
so I use that when I need a mouse. I would have to unplug the mouse every
time I needed to switch windows. I didn't try it with Ubuntu.
