No biggie.

I actually did manage to fix everything with random updates. At this point,
everything is working correctly, but I don't recall exactly how I fixed it.
I'll provide additional information, though, just in case it causes someone
to recognize any suspicious patterns.

I suspect that a (if not the) major cause of my problems was that the system
in question was originally slink-with-selected-potato-packages, then I
started adding in selected woody packages without having brought it up to
full potato, so it was a mix of a slink base with a few old potato versions
and a lot of newer woody packages installed on top of it. IIRC, everything
started working again when I upgraded all the slink and old potato code to
current potato.

I didn't test it systematically. Left-clicking initially appeared to be
completely dead, then I went to change the volume setting on my sound card
and, out of habit, tried to do so with the mouse. Even though I clicked
within wmmixer's volume control and dragged up (which normally is received by
wmmixer and increases the volume), wmaker behaved as if I had clicked on a
non-application-controlled area of the dockicon and went into 'drag dockapp
to a new location' mode. I then played with it a bit more and saw a
consistent pattern that anything application-controlled (GUI windows,
buttons, etc.) ignored left-clicks, while any of wmaker's decorations (dock,
titlebars, resizebars, etc.) reacted normally to them.

I'll attach a copy, although I don't expect it to contain anything
problematic.
