Hello!

I've restarted my X session, and connect to the still running emacs
daemon via emacsclient no longer works. X window is created, but
nothing is ever drawn inside it.

Fortunately, emacsclient -t works, so I don't lose information.
However, I wish to try to debug the problem. What should I do?

Andrey Paramonov

FYI, this seems quite common. If X falls over here with an X
emacsclient open I get the same issue (Debian with Gnome). Interestingly
enough I hadn't thought to connect using emacsclient -t so thanks for
that!

Does your emacs use the Gtk+ toolkit?
If yes, then this is a (very) long standing problem in Gtk+:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715

there are some workarounds for this in emacs, but it cannot be fixed
until Gtk+ is fixed (not very likely, it seems).
This problem gets reported from time to time...

If emacs is configured using --with-x-toolkit=lucid you will not have
this problem.
