[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#453755: some console keystrokes ignored when dbus-launch is running

[Owen Heisler]

Package: dbus
Version: 1.1.2-1
Severity: important

When I first boot up the system, about 40% of the keystrokes on the console are 
ignored, like: if I type "startx" and hit enter, I'll see "sart" or somesuch.  
In that same case, typing "sttartxx" and enter probably would have worked.  The 
enter key is also affected, so maybe I'd have had to hit it twice.

This affects the username and password prompts too, so I usually cannot manage 
to log in at the console at all after booting.
This does not happen in X and luckily a display manager is enabled, so I can 
log in there.

In X, I then kill the dbus-launch process, which fixes the problem.  I have 
this problem with dbus 1.1.1-3 also.
