I have also experienced this (hardy), I'm using an Intel iMac. It is annoying as hell, especially when alt-tabbing between windows and copy-pasting: the mouse freezes every single time I do these things.

And it was very hard to find the cause of the problem because a simple google search does not reveal any clues (is it gnome, metacity, compiz, X server? none of the above it turned out)

The liveCD does not have this problem, so perhaps mouseemu is only installed or enabled during the actual install to a hard disk (when it somehow detects that the computer is a mac)?

Could this program please be disabled by default? If someone wants "mouse emulation in mac", I think he'll find mouseemu in a simple google search. At the very least, please change the “-typing-block DELAY” default value from 300ms to 0. Why would you want a delay, anyway???
