The issue is not with the mouse, as it works on other computers (and on this one, for about five minutes after a reboot). Right clicks and mouse movement are fine. Left clicks with the touchpad work fine.

this question seems relevant, but the answer is for people running compiz. I don't think I'm running compiz, as which compiz gives me compiz not found.

EDIT: as of right now metacity --replace& does nothing except make my windows look ugly and screw up my taskbar.

This may be a hardware problem in the computer.

Electronics can die in such a manner that a specific function stops working as the circuitry involved gets "warm" (as from having been running [powered on] for a anything between a few minutes to hours).
