Hi George,
thanks for your detailed report, though I'm downgrading it as I don't think this
affects every user of bluez.

Does hidd come from bluez? It is not in bluez anymore but in bluez-compat as it
is deprecated.

Anyhow, you should be able to pair your mouse with e.g. gnome-bluetooth (via
bluetooth-applet) after that it is supposed to reconnect itself.

let me know if there are any problems,

If there is any better use for being famous and respected than using
that status to question orthodoxy, I haven't found it yet.
