I've observed this bug with GNU Emacs 18.51 and 18.52 under Ultrix 2.2
and X11R2. It happens when the DISPLAY environment variable is set to
"unix:0" (indicating a "Unix domain" connection) and goes away when
DISPLAY is set to "hostname:0" (hostname=name of your or any other
machine, indicating a TCP/IP connection).
I've circumvented the bug with a little shell script wrapped around
emacs that resets the DISPLAY variable when it is "unix:0", but I'd
like to have a real fix to the problem, too.
