I some what naively applied the current updates:

date time action package from_version to_version

2008-01-18 02:37:59 upgrade x11-common 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:00 upgrade xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-6ubuntu3 
2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8
2008-01-18 02:38:01 upgrade xserver-xorg-input-all 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 
1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:01 upgrade xutils 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:01 upgrade xbase-clients 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:09 upgrade xserver-xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13
2008-01-18 02:38:11 upgrade xorg 1:7.2-5ubuntu6 1:7.2-5ubuntu13

This reverted me back to square one /see initial report/ this time
instead of trying to roll back all of the above packages I did it one by
one checking to see if the problem occured (each time I /etc/init.d/gdm
restart ed) until i finally got to xserver-xorg-core, installing this
upgraded package caused the problem.  none of the others had any affect.
So we can finally pin point the package which causes this.

xserver-xorg-core-2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-6ubuntu3  WORKS 
xserver-xorg-core-2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8 BROKEN

now to find the crucial difference...

** Attachment added: "incase anyone else on AMD64 and needs to roll back"

** Changed in: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid
