If you tell me where I should experiment, I could try out to add a
delay. I noticed, that sometimes a simple call of "gpm start" is
enough, so it indeed seems to be a timing issue (but I could not
detect a pattern, so maybe background activity or somthing like this).

I am willing to try out patches, if you like.
