Yeah, you can only do that from a remote login, or you end up in a dead
lock where gdb stops execution of the X server, which is what provides
interaction with gdb...
The backtrace looks input related, and indeed, looking at the log file,
it looks like /dev/input/event1 no longer represents a mouse but a
keyboard, so the X server ends up running without a core pointer and
probably chokes on that.
