    No, running with "-q" and renaming .emacs do not solve it.  I also tried
    cleaning out my X resources with "xrdb </dev/null" and got the same result.

I hope that someone who can observe this problem will decide to
debug it and track down the actual cause.

======================================================================
    Start emacs as an X window and enter iso-accents-mode.  Whenever you
    type a composite character, for example `" SPC' for the `"' character,
    the mouse cursor becomes the wristwatch shape and the usual mouse
    functions cease to work.  Everything reverts to normal at the next RET
    or C-SPC or C-p or certain other actions.  Normal typing of text,
    however, does not cause the mouse to resume functioning.
