Hi, I am experiencing same behavior on newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 AMD 64. First time I have noticed this was after installation of NVidia drivers, but actually it was the first time I have restarted the computer. Problem was appearing ever sync irregularly. Adding sleep 2 into the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99x11-common_start script seems to fix the problem so I suspect it to be some nasty race condition (thanks Cuihtlauac).
Best Lukas Zaruba I am attaching beginnings of .xsession-error logs... This is the log from the session which run correctly: /etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup... Setting IM through im-switch for locale=cs_CZ. Start IM through /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/all_ALL linked to /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default.
