Kde 3.3 mouse cursor problem

Since upgrading to kde 3.3, I have 3 problems: 1. my mouse cursor runs wild from time to time, resizing, opening or closing windows in applications. I've used yast 2 to reconfigure (intellimouse look-alike on ps2), but the problem persists. 2. The panel does not display a button for each open application unless I right-click "configure panel" and save the changes. 3. in the Kicker part of the task bar, the icons for Klipboard, kinternet, you and the like are about seven centimeters from each other, so I have to scroll laterally to see the lot. I cna't seem to chnage this. I've tried reinstalling the kde 3.3 files, but it does not help. Suggestions welcome thnks FX
