Problems with mouse after CVS install

I am running a FC2 system with kernel 2.6.7.-1.494.2.2.
I installed XFCE from source (current CVS) and then added the /etc/X11
files to put it into the sessions menu, and the desktop works with no
errors, but my mouse cursor is acting funny now. When I log in for the
first time on my desktop (KDE and Gnome) programs, it is fine, but when
I log out, the cursor is displayed in one spot, but the system thinks it
is slightly up and to the left or right. It 'moves' differently every
time, and I have to move the cursor around a button until I see it
highlight because just pressing it won't work! Sometimes it goes away
when I log in, sometimes not until I log out, and sometimes I have to
restart X to get rid of it, but it keeps messing up and is pissing me off!
I tried removing the /etc/X11 entries I made to take XFCE4 out of the
sessions menu, but that didn't do any good. The only other thing I
modified was the rpm installation for dbh-1.0. The xffm and xcalendar
packages wouldn't compile because I didn't have bdh-1.0, but I did an
rpm -qa|grep bdh and found it was installed, so I unistalled it then
reinstalled it, then the packages compiled.
For some reason, I don't know if it is related or not, my rcd red-carpet
daemon just stopped working and started crashing, so I uninstalled and
reinstalled the rpms, then started the rcd daemon with
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rcd start, and now it works again...
I hope I didn't screw something up with the XFCE4 install, but I spent
half an hour compiling the huge amounts of source code, so I don't want
to uninstall it right away until I figure out what is wrong. How should
I go about fixing this?
