Unfortunately I'm just the X guy, I'm not really intimately
knowledgeable about what's going on inside gnome-power-manager so can't
give much advice here on out.

It sort of feels like something is stealing the keyboard/mouse devices
away from X, and then the vt-switch remaps things back together
possibly.  I'm not at all certain what could do this.  On a lot of
hardware there are separate devices for the keyboard, mouse, and
hotkeys; on others these are mixed together in weird ways.  I could
vaguely guess that some weird combination could lead to things getting
stolen from X in unexpected ways, but that's just a vague guess.  It
would show up by running `xinput list` and analyzing how the hardware's
inputs are mapped.
