I am also affected by this bug. I thought it was a Gnome problem, which is why
I opened Debian bug 507743.
Removing xserver-xorg-input-evdev, as one follow-up to this bug suggested,
leaves my laptop without any keyboard/touchpoint handling in X at all.
I want to run Xorg 7.4 to obtain the benefit of the latest Intel drivers for
the chip set used in this laptop.
Is there any work around or updated package that I could try?
For reference, the laptop is a Lenovo Thinkpad X200.
