Last time I checked, it did. Debconf and I have a difference of opinion 
about it's overwriting XF86Config-4 after I hand-edit it. So and X 
upgrade arrives, and the config file gets overwritten. :-)

No, I've seen it with Gnome also, on: alpha, ppc, sparc, and i386.

But, IS gpm running? Both it and the X server are trying to grab events 
from /dev/psaux...

Seen it on X 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2. So I'd say it's not kernel-related.
