Mouse clicks and keyboard keys don't work at gdm when I first boot up. I
have to ssh into my machine and restart gdm to get it to work.
I'm attaching the X server log, though nothing looks amiss to me.
Nothing strange is sent to syslog either:
$ journalctl -u gdm -b

You can see there that the log messages from gdm are identical the first
and second times that it starts.
I am unable to even use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to another virtual console
to log in. The only key sequence that responds is Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which
systemd picks up on as if I were at a virtual console that is not
runnign X, and duly reboots the system.
The system itself is a VirtualBox virtual machine. I've had this problem
for months, so it's not caused by a recently updated package.
