I've noticed this as well. I have an easier method of getting it to
guru, though: Start dmouse. Run handshake. Wait some time. When the
screen unblanks by touching the mouse, gomf will be waiting for me. 

I think it has something to do with interference between dmouse and the
background task that Handshake starts up to do the blinking cursor. 

Suggestions: quit dmouse and physically turn the monitor off, play a
game or something in the background (multitasking yeah!), or better yet,
use dnet.
