I have VirtualBox 3.1.2r56127 running on amd64 Windows7 host, and an
amd64 Lenny client.

Everything seemed to work before I finished the vboxadd setup adding
VirtualBox client support.

Now the mouse responds to right click (opening a menu in right bottom
corner of the window), but nothing else works mouse wise.

After vboxadd setup my xorg.conf has following setup for mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Buttons" "9"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Name" "VirtualBox Mouse Buttons"
Option "Protocol" "explorerps/2"
Option "Vendor" "Sun Microsystems Inc"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Identifier "Mouse[2]"
Option "Device" "/dev/vboxguest"
Option "Name" "VirtualBox Mouse"
Option "Vendor" "Sun Microsystems Inc"
Option "SendCoreEvents"
EndSection

I googled, and tried to replace those with

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "vboxmouse"
Option "CorePointer"
EndSection

but that made the Xorg unstartable.

What might be wrong in the setup?

I had the same problem, reverting to the 3.1.0 VirtualBox Additions
enabled the mouse to work again.

Installed Virtualbox-guest-X11 from lenny repository and now it works.
The guest from Virtualbox virtual CD did not work.
