I also have this problem.
Ubuntu 8.10 64-bit (updated today)
Nividia 177
Xinerama w/ 4 Screens

Reproduce bug:
1. Open Firefox (with a bunch of Restored tabs including one with flash content)
2. Move Firefox window to different monitor.
3. Right click on the Firefox entry in the "Window List" and select "Move"
4. Left click anywhere. (The mouse clicks stop working)

The keyboard still works fine and the mouse cursor still moves around.
One time I opened a terminal with keyboard shortcuts and ran "sudo /etc/init.d/hal restart" and it fixed the problem. The next time I tried that it didn't work.

Nelson: I tried to reproduce the bug using your steps, but It did not manifest itself for me.

I attached the Xorg.0.log from the buggy session.
I did add Option "AutoAddDevices" "false" to my xorg.conf "ServerFlags" area, but it didn't seem to help.
