Bug#344035: gnome-panel: Mouse gets into odd mode: [+ and can't click

Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.10.2-1
Severity: normal


Got a tetris icon by right-clicking on Tetris in the "Games" drawer
and attempted to move it into a different drawer that had been
added to the panel.

The mouse got into a weird mode where the buttons had no effect,
but the cursor was still following mouse motions.    The cursor
was a corner with a plus sign in it.

Ascii art approximation to the cursor is below:

[-----------------------
|
|          |
|          |
|          |
|   ----------------
|          |
|          |
|          |
|         

The computer did not respond to anything on the keyboard
short of ctrl-alt-backspace to kill X-windows.
The following line was in /var/log/syslog:
Dec 19 14:54:10 localhost gdm[5183]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0
(but that may just record the X-shutdown and restart, so it may not
be important.)   There are no obviously useful error messages in
the X server log.
