Binary package hint: unity

When I plug an USB mouse to my Macbook 4,1 laptop, the track pad stops to work in unity and doesn't work again when the mouse is unplugged. The trackpad work again when I log out an logs in again.

This only happen during an unity session in Natty.

This bug did not happen in maverick. If I switch to a terminal window using GPM, the trackpad works as expected. The Bug doesn't happen in GDM neither, and when I open a guest session, the trackpad only works in the guest session but not in the main session !
