Thanks Aaron.  It turned out - apparently - that it was the "video mode"
I specified in the kernel line in GRUB (because otherwise I don't get
the graphical boot).

The usual: "the last update is usually the culprit" ...led me to believe
it was related to glibc.  I didn't know that by booting with an
incorrect vga value would cause such issues when the desktop is already
up.

I don't have the problem anymore (after removing the vga parameter). I'm
still not 100% sure though ( I don't know that much on low-level graphic
issues).

Regards,
Jorge
