Option 2 - gpm interference turned out to be the problem.

I would be interested to know when this "problem" started, i.e which
distros are affected.

<= RH6.0 wasnt affected, Suse6.0 wasn't, Suse6.4 is, Caldera 1.3 wasn't.

To me, this is a major problem and a fatal flaw in linux/X if it is
widespread.
