Well, the issue I had, was not related to gdm oder kdm or any display
manager but direcly to the X Server.

Actually it's a hardware bug with the PS/2 controller of some mainboards,
I think I refered to a gpm bug log, where the issue is discussed in length,
in this bug's log somewhere. In essence the hardware bug was triggered
by the X default configuration of two years ago.

I don't have access to the specific hardware, which showed the problem,
anymore. I don't know how widespread this buggy mainboards was/is.
