if you move the mouse during rio's start-up it can get out of sync
reading /dev/mouse and start thinking that mouse clicks are moves one
pixel to the right for example.  if this is the problem you're seeing
just don't touch the mouse for the entire second that rio is starting
and it should be fine.

i've taken a peek on fixing this but not a long enough one to be able
to comment on it :)
