Hmm. Just discovered something quite interesting. I decided to try a different mouse, so I've swiped the missus' for a while. It's also a Logitech, but an older model (and, incidentally, rather better made than my more expensive Revolution MX <_<). And it works without any bother. Perfectly happy switching to Windows and FreeBSD and back again, and I haven't been able to get it to not work yet. I guess the possibilities are: 1. My newer, problematic mouse (or rather its receiver) is a high-speed device, whilst the missus' old mouse has a low-speed one. This "shouldn't" cause conflicts since it works with Windows and Linux... but it does. 2. I used Uber Tools on Windows to reconfigure the behaviour of the mouse buttons and scroll wheel, which may be doing something undesirable. I'll fiddle about with it and see if I can repeat the not-workingness with her mouse, and just not use it if it's the culprit. 3. Maybe the Revolution MX just sucks in some random way that I don't know, and perhaps has some basic problem with adhering to the USB protocol. I'll write more when I find something conclusive. Or even inconclusive, for that matter. :)
