Thanks for the pointers. In between, I played with the keys and it
worked, then I switched back to "default" and it seems to work since.
I also upgraded to a newer kernel (2.6.22) at the same time, I don't know
if it's related... I also reinstalled "xcreensaver" a few hours before
(just to do some tests).

Is it possible that the availability of the xscreensaver package changes
the behaviour of g-p-m?

In any case, the problem seems to have disappeared for me... 

Cheers,
