No. I guess it might not solve the culprit. But as I don't use windowmaker I 
couldn't know if
it was true on that. It's just that it's an option on all the gtk based DE's 
I've used as well
as KDE and Plasma to reverse the mouse for "handedness" in their control 
panels. So I was hoping
it might be an option for you. Maybe the option became inadvertently changed. 
But I guess not. :-(
Does your Xorg log show any interesting clues?
Sorry. That's all I've got.
