I still have it and it baffles me.

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.
