Some keyboards have a button that shows a context menu. If you press it while in an input field (like the user name field), a context menu will show up (even if a right mouse click doesn't). You can press escape to make it disappear, but it leaves a nasty stain. Reproducible: Always

Why would this have anything to do with gnome ? It looks like a xorg-server or X driver bug nothing less, nothing more. Please provide emerge --info and which version of xorg-server, libX11 and mesa you are using. Also which video driver (and version) are you using.

Please upgrade to xorg-server 1.5.3 as 1.4.2 is no longer supported (by us nor upstream). Don't hesitate to reopen this bug once you've upgraded. Thanks
