Hi,

Had the exact same problem, and was driving me crazy after trying to use
Sugar.

However, someone suggested to disable Compiz in the forums for an issue
with mouse poling while he was using a program, so it gave me the idea
to try disabling Compiz and see what happens.

After doing so, my mouse worked normally again, so I narrowed it down to
Compiz.

Then I went all around Compiz settings, until I finally found the
culprit in the General Options, Key bindings for Window Menu.

Just to make things short, you can access it directly through gconf:

/apps/compizconfig/profiles/Default/general/allscreens/options/window_menu_button

Change setting from "Button3" to "<Alt>Button3" (Without quotes of
course)

Hope this helps.

Question still remains. Why does Sugar change this setting?

Status in “sugar” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed

Bug description:
Binary package hint: sugar

I installed sugar-platform version 0.86 in ubuntu 9.10, during login I changed the session to sugar and was able to use the various activities. But after logging out and returning  to the default gnome session the mouse malfunctioned. Both the Right click and the left click don't work as expected. I manage to get the desired behavior from the mouse only after pressing the "Ctrl"  key on the keyboard. 

I managed to get a workaround this problem by deleting the ".gconf"  folder in my homes. But I face this same problem again when I switch to gnome from sugar.
