I ordered a new mouse but in the meantime I've done a couple of hundred
moves using konq to konq. As I was doing them I noticed I didn't have a
single failure. Worked fast, and every time. I then tried MANY from 
Nautilus to konq. All of these also worked fast and perfectly. I'm back
to thinking it is a software problem, but will try the new mouse when
it arrives. Any other thoughts on the software front? Liam had several
good suggestions to think about.
