Do you actually use GPM?  If not, there's your solution.  I
used to go with the default of having GPM enabled until
I was thinking about it one day and realized that I
had never - even once - used it.  When I'm outside of
X, I have no need for a mouse, since I do everything
from the command line there.  In keeping with the principal
of not running anything you don't actually need, I dumped
GPM and have still never needed it.

If you do use it, what do you use it for? Anyone else 
who uses GPM can chime in there, too.
