I invoked M-x compile, and after hitting return to start the (make) process, an X-window popped up and displayed a number of red triangles. The make process never did run. I took a screenshot, and if anyone is really curious to see what it looked like, I'll upload it to a web site. After I saw it the first time, it was indefinitely repeatable after killing the compile buffer, but once I restarted emacs I could not repeat it. It's not a very good bug report, but on the off chance that someone knows what this was about... Bob
