Thanks for the response. I tried pulling keyboard and substituting
another mouse, but that had no effect. Since I have no other odd
behaviors using mouse to drag I'm not surprised.

I powered down and then could not log beck in when I rebooted. Ran
update-grub from Cimaera on another disk and for some obscure reason
I could then log in.

The problem with mouse-drag does not occur on the other disk disk.

Purging aisleriot and reinstalling did not help

I checked .xsession-errors and other logs and found no signs of
trouble.

I had trouble understanding your suggestion to use ps with -o cmd.
For me, the -o option for the ps command is to specify format. Were you
suggesting that I do: $ ps -o aisleriot ?

Of note is that when I start /usr/games/sol as root the problem
disappars---I can drag cards just fine.
