Cool. I wish I could help on the programming side of it, but I don't get
very far past "Hello World" before I start getting in over my head in C
:). The whole interacting with gnome and X stuff would make my head
explode.  It's pretty easy for me to duplicate the problem on my home
box though, so testing for it shouldn't be too hard. 

Is there some kind of X event tool I can run that would help give any
clues? I seem to remember using something like that before for
something, but I can't remember the name of the tool, or why I was using
it anymore.
