Problem seems to be resolved. I have now tried all three of my systems
running a Gnome desktop and it now seems to be working on all of
them. It want away when I updated ports on Monday. I suspect, but can't
confirm, that libxlavier was the culprit.

Out of curiosity, Mike, did you have any special keyboard mapping stuff
in you Gnome configuration? I use "Make CapsLock an additional Ctrl" and
I suspect that this may be what is different about my configurations.
