[X4U] Sleepers awake

[Jon Marett]

My 1.67 GHz 17" pb does this from time to time. Simply closing the  
lid or waiting for it to go back to sleep (i.e. wait for the little  
pulsating light in the release button) and then re-waking up the  
machine seems to work fine. This occurrence seems to happen when I  
connect a usb mouse prior to opening/waking the pb. Sometimes after  
waking, the mouse moves the cursor, but the system doesn't seem to  
respond to mouse clicks until i unplug the mouse AND use the trackpad  
to select something and then re-connect the mouse.

I believe the waking issue did occur in Panther as well, but the  
mouse problem seems to have crept in since updating to Tiger.  
(currently at 10.4.2).
