I also have an OmniView KWM causing the same problems with Red Hat 9. I had 
the same problems in Red Hat 8 - the mouse goes crazy. This doesn't happen 
every time I switch inputs on the KVM, but the longer my Linux box stays 
disconnected from the mouse, the more likely it is that the problem will 
occur.
I have noticed that when I switch to a Windows box(Win2k) that has the 
browser open, the browser will back up one page all by itself. It's as if 
it's receiving a "backspace" signal from the KVM.
I'm hoping that there is some sort of fix in Linux that will make the 
problem go away, but I got a feeling its just crappy KVM hardware.
