Finally I am very sorry, but my problem is not related to gdm3. Keyboard
and mouse wasn't recognized before unplug/replug because my  backupped
old xorg.conf used the deprecated "kbd" and "mouse" drivers instead of
evdev.

I noticed that I had in xorg logs the warning "(WW) Hotplugging is on,
devices using drivers 'kbd', 'mouse' or 'vmmouse' will be disabled." and
after a lot of searches on the web i discovered that the latest Xorg
servers need evdev drivers.

So i manually modified the xorg.conf and everything is working.

Sorry for the incovenience and thanks for your support.
