I have three nearly identical systems, all running 7-Stable. All have the same versions of all gnome ports (and mostly the same ports) installed. One is fine. The other two fail most of the time. None use gdm. The most significant difference I see is that the one that works is running 7-Stable from May 19 while the other 2 (which have the problem) are running 7-Stable from July 27. One other data point...if I get gnome-screensaver to allow me to input once, it will continue to do so until it is re-started, so it looks like it is related to initialization. -- R.
