I can confirm this on a fresh install of Gutsy as well. Also each time after it went to screensaver it would have lost the connection.

However, using the suggestion from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothMouse

More specifically:

   1. Edit the file /etc/default/bluetooth: sudo sensible-editor /etc/default/bluetooth
   2. Set the variable HIDD_ENABLED=1.
   3. Restart the bluetooth service with the command: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart

Fixed it. Maybe there should be an option in the Bluetooth settings whether you are using a bluetooth mouse/keyboard and then enable HIDD?
