This sounds very much like a very long standing Gtk+ bug: 
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715

we have had a few bug reports in emacs about it.

You could verify that by configuring emacs with --enable-toolkit=lucid

I think we should have a big warning in NEWS pointing to that Gtk bug
and saying that if people want to connect/disconnect to X11 display,
they'd better avoid using Gtk.
