There's nothing in those logs that makes success/failure obvious to me 
though.  I took both dmesg logs and did a "grep -2 -i usb" on them.  The 
USB subsystem messages were almost identical.  Both logs showed that the 
keyboard was on 3-1 and the mouse was on 3-2, and that they were both 
claimed by the usbhid module.

Are these devices plugged in to the machine directly, or are they 
connected to a hub?  I've had flaky hubs cause this sort of intermittent 
problem.  Or is this an X11 problem?  Can you ssh into this machine from 
another box when it's showing the problem, and see if the mouse is 
visible with "lsusb" and have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for 
keyboard/mouse errors?
