I took a look at this with gdb and lo and behold:
it was a long running loop inside the gnomekbd plugin
so i broke gnome-settings-daemon (renamed the .so files inside
lib/gnome-settings-daemon)

Now other things dont work so well but it is things which i can live
with for now (trouble unlocking the session is one example.)

Regarding the bug:
it is maybe a Debian and IA65 specific bug inside libgnomekbd.

Something in the tool chain breaks causess problems.
