Are you using hibernate from the hibernate package? If so, then there
are some things that you can do to help the below.

Try stopping kbluetoothd, unloading and reloading your kernel bluetooth
modules, and starting kbluetoothd. This may or may not work; I know of
some hardware that this is necessary for. i.e. the ipw2200 wireless
chipset. :P
If stopping/reloading/starting as above works, you will probably need to
add stopping kbluetoothd and unloading the modules on hibernate, and
loading the modules and starting kbluetoothd.

Try hibernating again. I've found that on the rare times when my mouse
stops responding that suspending and resuming again helps.
Also, have you looked at the X events that are being generated?
To look at the x events, try:
xev | grep -A3 Button
You should see click events when you click inside the xev window. I've
seen with some applications where clicks get "inverted."

None of the factors that you've listed will have any effect on suspend
or resume -- that's kinda the point.
