This is kind of pointless to report as far as getting it fixed, but I
would like to warn people in case the problem is more widespread than
just us.

Emacs hangs without response if you try to use the C-SHFT-Left Button
menus compiled with oldXmenu.  It didn't used to -- but now, in 18.54,
Sun0S 4.0.1, X11R3 fixes 1 through 9 and Sun 3/50s, it is hanging
here.  Thank heaven for auto-save.  The interesting thing to note is
that it apparently worked fine in 18.53 with all of the set-up
mentioned above (I _think_ ... maybe not the fix1-fix9).  The only way
to deal with it, apparently, is to kill the process.

On a semi-related note, has anyone else had a problem with leaving
their X Emacs windows alone for extended periods of time?  As in this
scenario:   I'm at work until midnight or so, running two Emacs
processes on remote machines.  I leave work and come back the next
day only to find that the panes of the Emacs windows are completely
white (their background) and not responding to any keyboard or mouse
input.  XKillClient will take care of the window, but ps on the
machine a short while later will show that the Emacs process is
sucking up cpu, apparently trying to address its window or something.
Emacs is the only thing with which I have observed this.  Has anyone
else noticed similar behaviour?

Dave
