Second problem: using gdm and gnome-session, the mouse stops working

freshly installed with X 4.1.0 three weeks ago (but not on
previously-installed continuously-upgraded systems), and switched to
/dev/gpmdata, which solved it for some time, then it broke again, so
I removed gpm. Unfortunately, there is no /dev/gpmdata on PPC, and
with the X keymap broken I kinda "need" gpm to work at the console,
so I haven't tried removing it.
I get the same thing with KDE/kdm after pulling down the updates in
testing. The X cursor does not respond to mouse movement, and
restarting the X server fixes it. I haven't really had much time to
look in to that, or the other problem that popped up at the same time
(fonts in KDE are completely screwed up - all the fonts keep getting
set to Agate, and Agate isn't a very useful terminal font).
