  	I have this nasty thought it could be a problem just made more
  	obvious by differing combinations.
 
  	So far we it looks like (ACPI | xorg)...
 
  		ACPI+xorg  ACPI+xsrc  !ACPI+xorg  !ACPI+xsrc
  	abs        Y          -           N           -
  	gavan      -          Y           -           -
  	rpaulo     Y          -           -           -
  	smb        -          -           Y           -
 
  	Could some people seeing it try switching to/from ACPI kernels?
  	given that is a _lot_ easier than switching X & all apps.
