Starting with
emacs-snapshot:
Installed: 1:20110827-1
one can no longer do
$ emacs
C-z
and expect to be able to type anything to the shell.
One now needs to do
$ emacs &
beforehand for that.

I cannot reproduce this in today's build, FWIW.

Well the snapshots are weekly, so I suppose you'll hear from me again if
it is not fixed next week.

Try this with Debian emacs-snapshot 1:20110902-1 and icewm in an xterm:
$ emacs -Q
Then in emacs hit ^Z
Now we are staring at the calling shell's window.
But we cannot do anything.
This started happening two weeks ago.
The interesting thing is that if one now does ALT TAB twice, switching
back and forth to the shell window again, one can now type ^Z, ^C etc.
like one used to be able to.
So that means this must not be an emacs problem, but instead an icewm or
X windows problem, just like what happens when one exits firefox, one
needs to switch back and forth to regain the ability to type into the
original shell.
In emacs' case the problem occurs when one types ^Z, not at exit though.

In that situation, `emacs -Q' should open an X frame. C-z will iconify
(minimize) that frame, not suspend Emacs. Your bug report makes no
sense.

Package: xserver-common
Version: 2:1.11.0-1
X-debbugs-cc: 9398-done@debbugs.gnu.org
http://debbugs.gnu.org/9398 must instead have something to do with
Debian's X stuff, and not icewm or emacs or firefox.
I hereby create a Debian bug report, and respectfully ask the Debian
Devels to see http://debbugs.gnu.org/9398 .
