This is a tricky one. It seems to be an "input device" perhaps the mouse or the keyboard but probably a touchpad thats playing with you.
I found this:
> What is "input device 169"?
Good question. I think it has to do with some unnecessary touchpad sections
sitting there in xorg.conf. At least, removing them got rid of the error
message.
and this
I've commented out the entries [leading to success]
InputDevice "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
InputDevice "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
Some buffer somewhere is not handled correctly (this can be or not be hardware related) so commands are sent twice, so it could be that two sets of commands are sent and not one when you click...
So comment out the InputDevices mentioned above. They are in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
so you have to do "sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak" to backup xorg.conf and then
kdesu your favorite editor to change xorg.conf
(comment out = put # first in the line)
Give it a try and report back - unfortunately it is hard to find any useful info on this.

I got a similar error in the terminal when I tried to "kdesu kate" but it worked alright. May be some bug....
