USB Mouse & Keyboard freezes with USB KVM after a while

Looks like connecting and disconnecting USB keyboard & mouse using USB hub causes some processes to freeze - the mouse and keyboard stop responding and you cannot log out or restart the OS X. Anybody else has the same issue?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.7), KVM, USB

I found what the issue was - it was not Apple or KVM, but logitech software that I installed to handle my trackball. Uninstalling the software fixed this issue. So the conclusion is - USB KVM works great with MacBook, but Logitech software is junk.
