When looking through the various logs, I noticed that at each crash the
entry "gmd_slave_xioerror_handler" and a notation about fatal and
restart appeared in the logs (daemon.log, syslog, etc.).
That's a generic error message AFAICT from searching the web, but it got
me to thinking: I'd had a crash earlier when I plugged in my
xsane-supported scanner. I'd put it off as unrelated... I then wondered
if it were USB related, (if the USB hotplug of a the scanner caused a
crash, could the USB keyboard/mouse cause a crash?), but USB hotplugs of
flash drives did not crash gdm.
Reading through the web I decided to try downgrading to
nvidia-kernel-dkms/testing.
This has fixed (a) my problem with the scanner and (b) fixed my problem
with bug #641991. I'm going to continue working with this version of
nvidia and report back. I'm at synergy 1.3.6 at the present time.
