(Get the code!)
I some what naively applied the current updates:
date time action package from_version to_version
2008-01-18 02:37:59 upgrade x11-common 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:00 upgrade xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.
2008-01-18 02:38:01 upgrade xserver-
2008-01-18 02:38:01 upgrade xutils 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:01 upgrade xbase-clients 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:09 upgrade xserver-xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:11 upgrade xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
This reverted me back to square one /see initial report/ this time instead of trying to roll back all of the above packages I did it one by one checking to see if the problem occured (each time I /etc/init.d/gdm restart ed) until i finally got to xserver-xorg-core, installing this upgraded package caused the problem. none of the others had any affect. So we can finally pin point the package which causes this.
xserver-
xserver-
now to find the crucial difference...
