logitech mouse problem - fedora 12

[fedora]

Did you check to see, whether your Display manager is running? Display 
manager (for Gnome), by default, is metacity.
to check:
ps xa |grep metacity

to restart:
metacity --replace &

if you selected a different Display Manager, issue commands accordingly.
