They were side-by-side, but the top edges have always been uneven (see below)

I ran xev and saw no mouse events at all, neither movement or buttons.

I have a Macbook Pro with an external display plugged in. I have the
external screen configured to be to the left of the MBP's screen, with
its top edge about 40% higher than the MBP's screen (to match their
physical layout). The menubar and Dock are on the MBP screen. I didn't
hot-plug the external display; I'd actually cold-booted in this
configuration this morning (but I always restart X11.app after
changing my screen configuration anyway; changing that on the fly has
never worked very reliably with any version of X11.app AFAIK)

My layout looks like this: (might need to switch to a fixed font)
--------
|      |
| S    |-----------
|      ||   M     |
--------|         |
        -----------

where 'M' is the MBP's built-in display with the menubar and Dock, and
'S' is the external display.

I'll try playing with different screen configurations (left-right vs.
right-left, uneven top edges, etc.) and see if I can find a specific
part of that that causes it to not work.
