It would seem you have uncovered a bug within X affecting your mouse. 
My guess is that it would be the same problem under any desktop
environment. 

I would first start off by comparing the /var/log/Xorg.0.log when
booting into the previous kernel as well as the new kernel.

I would also try moving the mouse/keyboard connection to a port on the
front your PC if you have ports there.  And/Or, simply
disconnecting/reconnecting the USB connector to see if the mouse can be
made to become responsive.

If all that should fail, then time to file a bugzilla.
