Are you sure that this is a problem with the mouse?  I've noticed that I
have to pick up my mouse a lot under GEOS too, but if you pay close
attention, you'll notice that this is largely due to GEOS applications
moving your pointer without you moving the mouse.  (E.g.: in geoWrite,
clicking on a font in the font menu positions you on a pointsize menu
automatically.  While this is nice, it does result in the mouse pointer
moving inexorably to the right.)
