Nope, a straight up Ubuntu 12.04 install that I added xfve desktop to. 
So, I can do Ubuntu or XFCE. The mouse is going nuts in both. Darn 
annoying thing going on. In the kernal log I'm getting a bunch of this:
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: C_Initialize called twice for same process
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: C_Initialize called twice for same process
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: C_Initialize called twice for same process
WARNING: gnome-keyring:: C_Initialize called twice for same process

Then I see that there is a pm-powersave.log which is rather long and 
full of activity. I'd like to kill that entire process, as I'm running a 
mid-tower that is on 24/7. I don't need to waste CPU cycles on such 
nonsense. How to drag it out, like a screaming Mandrake Root, to gut it 
completely out? I suspect something is trying to powersave my mouse's 
USB port. Ric
