I have admit I wasn't really sure what the "official" term was so I figured that "Xwindows" was generic and would be understood (even if not correct ;-) > But anycase, it sounds a lot like > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D392889. You have to scroll d= own a > bit, initially it was about something else. "My" bug certainly sounds a lot like the one described by Rodney Dawes (comment 11). Both resizing the window and Alt+Tab will cause the "hang". Contrary to my previous post I do not actually need to kill emacs to "unlock" X, if I just use Ctrl+Alt+F1 to switch to a new shell and then Ctrl+F7 to switch back to X then the system will be functioning normally again. Most of the rest of the discussion on the metacity bug that you forwarded does not immediately enlighten me as to the root of my problem. Guess I don't understand my WM to this level of detail :-( > Also, there are known issues with Emacs 23.1 and Gtk+ 2.18, but this soun= ds > extreme. I saw the same behaiour when I used the emacs 22 packages which also ship with Karmic. So I thought that I should try version 23 to see if that changed the situation. > What window manager are you running? =C2=A0Can you try Emacs CVS and see = if it > works? It will probably be a couple of days before I have chance to test the CVS version, but will let you know what I find. >Are you sure it is X that locks up?

To check, go to a console prompt and do >% xterm -display :0 If I switch to a new shell and then switch back as described above then I have a working system again. Launching xterm from the shell prompt (as root) does succeed but I guess since I get a working system without the launch step, I guess this is less diagnostic.
