Hmm, that's odd.
I can't offer a 'real' solution, but one way I could think of is to
hack the /etc/rc.d/init.d/gpm script so that instead of killing gpm
nicely, it just kill -9's it.
Try changing the line that says 'gpm -k' to 'killall -9 gpm'
Or, have you tried yanking the mouse plug out before you shutdown??
