When would I have a gecko problem and what people would say than?
Geckos are pretty straight forward creatures. They will only enter a building and inhabit there because of food, and food alone. Very rarely do they 'accidentally' enter a building or for shelter.
Food? Insects. So usually houses with persistent problem with flies or cockroaches will find geckos packing in to partake in the feast.

True story: Back in Toronto in the first place I lived without my parents I was in a room on the 2nd of 3 storeys in a house. There was a large hole visible from the outside that went into the gap between the 2nd and 3rd storey, through which many raccoons were seen entering and exiting. Inside my room I could frequently hear these animals scurrying, fighting and rolling acorns around. When I mentioned it to my (Punjabi) landlord that it was time he had the problem taken care of, he replied "That's not raccoons you're hearing; it's the Chinese people upstairs. They like to run around a lot." I never could get him to admit there was a rodent problem before I moved out a few months later.
I bet X9200 has Chinese people upstairs too...just a thought.

I could be totally wrong then. There were similar sounds coming from my flat's ceiling too. Now it is very rare.

It's mostly from the floor area, adjacent to the wall, but this equals to ceiling too. There are some cracks in the walls downstairs, none on the ceilings though. But frankly it did not sound like anything I can imagine coming from a rebar reinforcement.
