Emacs freezes after a while

Even it's unlikely that .emacs should be of any cause, I'll include it
anyway:
(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.

There are several known problems with 23.1 and newer gtk versions.
Please trying updating to a later version. Debian's latest is 23.2+1-7.
