Wow. I feel stupid. I grew up on Mandrake, but I've been running Debian
exclusively for around two years, and I never noticed that was there before.
I guess I read over the "how Debian does init" stuff a bit too quickly! :\

That does look like an obvious suspect, and I definitely don't have it
installed. I saw your other message about how you had it listed as "rc" and
I'm not sure what to make of that. Broken packages with an uninstall script
that didn't? Does that symlink actually point to anything? I'd try to dpkg
--purge it anyway.

No, gpm.
gpm - General Purpose Mouse Interface
It has caused me a good bit of trouble every time I've fooled with it. Never
any trouble like this though, granted. It was just a wild thought.
