When gnome3 first came into the unstable repositories (more than a year
ago?) I remember having a similar problem, where the mouse would freeze
and it would take a couple of seconds to start responding again.
Eventually, I figured out that the system setting to disable the
touchpad when typing had been activated. I turned off this option and
things were back to normal.
