(I seem to be replying to myself a lot lately -- bad sign.) May I ask
a favour? Can someone please try this? This is making Hoary unusable
for me.

On Hoary: 
sudo apt-get install vncserver
vncserver

On another computer: 
use a VNC viewer (I've tried Ultr at VNC, vncviewer, realvnc and
tightvnc) to connect to whatever vncserver said it created (probably
hostname:1).
Open a terminal or something. 
Type. 
What happens? Do you see garbage characters or what you typed?
