I have a *similar* problem; see my posting in -current with Subject:
'problem with mouse when hald is running': when hald is enabled certain
events, for example the ButtonReleaseEvent of a mouse click, is delayed
until you move the mouse pointer a bit; until now I have AllowEmptyInput
set to 'false' and hald disabled, and it works;
