Subject: bug#1753: emacs may cause window manager to hang
Date: Thu, 01 Jan 2009 04:19:05 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ljtvs7sm.fsf@cyd.mit.edu> (raw)

Unfortunately, judging by past bugs related to multi-screen setups, none
of the regular Emacs bug-fixers have multiple screens available for
reproducing such bugs.  I suggest running Emacs under gdb in an xterm,
and arranging things so that when focus gets stuck, that xterm is in
focus.  Assuming that's possible, do C-z to suspend the Emacs process,
and inspect the backtrace to see if anything suspicious is going on;
maybe Emacs is looping somewhere in its window-manager interaction code?
