Strange.....

When booting up my KDE4.3.4 my right mouse click ends up being unusable.
Either nothing happens, or another application is initiated. When I boot in
KDE failsafe mode, everything is fine in this regard. What is the
difference between the regular and failsafe modes?

the differences is in the settings used in each..

you can look at those settings by going:

YaST > give root pass > System (on left) > Boot Loader

when the boot loader module loads you will see a window (on the right)
with all the various options you are given on the initial (green) boot
screen..(here i have listed default, failsafe, and others)

just click on default and then click on edit to see/(record elsewhere
for easy comparison) all the settings for that boot, then click ABORT
(unless you are positive you have made NO changes, in which case you
may click "ok")

then click failsafe > edit to see its settings..

in short, the differences in the two settings is that the fail safe
uses settings that are generally so safe (slow, common, widely
supported by almost all hardware) that it is very likely to work..

Typically you have to change teh mouse settings in KDE itself (but I do
think the difference between failsafe and normal use is strange).
