Oh wow! Yeah, the KVM acting momentarily wonky DOES sound like a
possible explanation. Oh wait, how's THIS (although I have no idea how
Bluetooth prefs got turned on in the Mini in the first place):
My reasoning for the Bluetooth (thin, I know) is that I believe new Macs
will automatically look for a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard if wired
versions aren't connected at first start up. Now why it would decide to
do this on an existing, operating system, I have no idea.
