The workstations here seem to be out to get me! After my mouse froze completely
on W20-575-58, I managed to log out again, because the mouse cursor was barely
inside a window. Right on the expand-window section. I logged into W20-575-57.
That worked for awhile, then as a window was being created, the mouse suddenly
stopped reading its keys. I couldn't do anything whatsoever except move the
window outline around.
I logged onto w20-575-82. It deactivated as soon as I logged in. W20-575-83
then crashed while activating. Repeatedly crashes on activation. I logged onto
W20-575-82 (this one) again, and it finally worked. During the long login
process, W20-575-57 finally came to its senses, and I was able to log off in
an orderly way. Although the mouse was still half the time not responding.
For a moment, the mouse on this workstation was only reading horizontal movement.
