I can also confirm this issue has happened to me on multiple Distro's, this is all running on my CR48 Chromebook from Google (beta test), using a Synaptics touchapd.
LUbuntu 12.04 Fedora 13 (LXDE) Linux Mint 14 Debian 7.2 and many others I have tried. I never knew of any of the fixes listed above until just now, and the switching to a VT and back to X worked for me.
