It seemed to occur in any shell window, gnome terminal and eterm. I wasn't particularly fond of it anyhow and switched to KDE, which doesn't seem to have this problem at all. The only thing that changed between my config for gnome and kde was the exec gnome-session to exec startkde in .xsession. This was all logging in using xdm. Finally, I've seen this problem in both XFree 4.0.1 and 3.3.6. So I assume its something gnome doing. Hope this helps...
