I have run into a problem with KDE 2.2. For the last week or so, the right
mouse button does not work in applications running under KDE. For
example, if I select a misspelled word in Star Office, and right click on
it, I do not get the drop down menu with the spelling corrections on it.
In Gnome Mines, the right click no longer makes a mine. In Konqueror, the
right click on a file no longer give the menu. Nothing happens.

If I start my Mandrake control center (I am running version 9.0) and bring
up the mouse hardware, it no longer detects the right click on the
checkout screen.

However, if I right click on a window title bar, I get the drop down
screen. If I right click on the desktop, I get the normal drop down menu.
If I switch from a a right handed to a left handed mouse, the right mouse
button works as expected for a left handed setting. The left button does
not. Since the right button always works in some conditions (including
under Windows), I know the mouse is OK. I can't think of anything I have
done to cause this problem. Any suggestions?

I am running Mandrake 9.0 with KDE 2.2. The machine is a dual boot
Windows 98 and Linux, AMD K6-II at 500 MHz with 512 Meg of memory, and
two 40 gig drives, one for Linux, one for Windows.
