You don't need filth to make a mouse work! You need a matt finish, not a varnished table. If the surface is at all refelective, you'll get exactly the problem you described, including the pointer moving by itself. Even some mouse mats are shiney. Try it on either newspaper or a sheet of ordinary A4 paper.
Good points!
I'm going to try sanding the varnish off the mouse area of my desk. Hope it helps.
Also using a new multimedia keyboard. So much for this type of junk - the bloody space bar only works when it wants to! I've noticed this problem when using other computers with fancy(ish) multimedia keyboards. My 5yo basic keyboard works better.
