I haven't seen either of those problems.

That could be a bug in Emacs.  If you can find a recipe to reproduce it
then it's worth reporting.

GTK2 had a bug which caused Emacs to hang if it was suspended
(iconified) with C-z.  I don't think this was ever fixed, but
since Emacs has moved to GTK3, I doubt that it matters.  I have
never heard of a problem with X11 (though that doesn't mean there
isn't one).

Try to reproduce it. Or if it happens again, think what
you might have done this time, that you did the first
time as well. Otherwise you hang in the air unless
someone immediately recognizes that situation...
