Could you please explain what is happening ?
What is the difference between GEM and textmode programs ?

I guess I already did (what I think I know of it):

In text- (and XaAES-)mode the kernel has control, in GEM not. This was an issue in the first MiNT-versions, where no multitasking took place when running a GEM-app.

The MiNT-keyboard-handler needs a certain timer-interrupt to occur.
