I have this problem on my si at home, but haven't noticed it on any of
the ones at work.  I conjecture that it's perhaps a bad mouse?  (I've
had correspondence with other users experiencing the same problems on
si's, which conflicts with my conjecture of course, and indicates an
si-specific problem.)

Any other si owners with this problem out there?  Important, too: any
*non-si* owners out there with this problem?  Maybe it's specific to
new mice, not just this new machine.
