Very good call. Yes, it's the same system but at first the BT mouse
still didn't work, i.e. no change, even after attempting to configure
it.

I then tried switching to a test user under Gnome, removed the BT mouse
and set it up again (I had also tried this under KDE) and this time it
worked. In fact both mice were working. I tried to switch back to my
usual KDE session but got a blank screen. I had to kill kdm and login
again, but now I have the BT mouse working under KDE.

Go figure ...
