Oh, it gets stranger, last night, I was using X-Windows, and the 
middle mouse conked out.  Plus somehow my xterms were getting dragged 
around popping to different parts of the screen.  The 
dragging/popping part stopped when I quit out of X-Windows and 
restarted it, but I still couldn't use the middle button.  Restarting 
the computer fixed it.  I found it really disturbing.
