        we call it a 'panel'. how are you running gnome? do you run
'gnome-session' or 'panel' in your ~/.xinitrc (or other file)?
if not try it. else run an xterm (should be the top choice in the second
submenu of your middle click menu) and run 'panel' and output the errors to a
file and submit them.

how do you know the mouse doesn't work? are you talking about clicking on the
background and nothing happening (nothing should happen, btw)? choose an option
on that menu (like xterm) with the left and it should work. here's the pointer
section of my XF86Config file (i use a logitech wheel mouse and RH5.2). yours
should look like this.

Section "Pointer"
   Protocol        "IMPS/2"
   Device          "/dev/mouse"
   Resolution      100
   Buttons         5
   ZAxisMapping    4 5
EndSection

the 'Buttons' and 'ZAxisMapping' parts make it use the wheel (but in most apps
you still need something like imwheel to get it to do anything).
