'Sounds like gdm to me. Is it feasible to replace gdm with [xkw]dm
and test that hypothesis? Then replace [xkw]dm with gdm and verify
it's still insane. Worst case (as bug reports go), that replacing and
restoring might even fix it.
Personally, I don't see much point to any of them for a personal
(single user) workstation. ymmv.
