May I see the source code? Ditto /etc/X11/XF86Config.

Does it do this with absolutely any program or just gflashplayer?

This is pretty weird. select returns indicating that reading from fd 4 won't
block. This means either that there's more data to be read or that fd 4 is
at end-of-file. read's return value of 0 indicates the latter. Yet fd 4
isn't removed from the readfds set...
Or maybe I'm misreading this...

I take it the following two lines aren't supposed to be split...

Does your movepointer script warp the pointer and then quit or does it stay
running? Why do you need to move the pointer anyway? I presume gflashplayer
is running full-screen, or else you'd want to do some xsetroot magic to hide
that awful background image. You could just configure/modify gflashplayer to
use a blank mouse pointer image.

You should probably put the calls to gflashplayer and movepointer in an
.xinitrc-style script to be executed by xinit. Then you don't need to export
DISPLAY=:0.0.

This probably means that movepointer isn't responsible for hosing your server.
Try using a program other than gflashplayer. Maybe use xterm instead and
then start gflashplayer from the prompt. See if the server halts then.
