Urm, I've "resolved" this. I've spent the last hr customizing my org
settings and for whatever reason it now works fine, so there must have
been some kind of setting that conflicted with it, I might try later
to put back things as they were when I sent my initial email and try
to comment stuff out and see if I can find the exact problem.

btw, it was C-c C-x C-z, not C-a and talking about this in irc it
seems I wasn't clear enough to describe the failure mode: C-g or C-z
or anything else wouldn't do anything, all input appeared to be
ignored.

thanks
