Comment 10 for bug 584868

Humm, you can probably find other apps depending on tk8.5, but since it's a random bug that appears at a random time after using the application, it's not really easy to reproduce in order to know where it comes from...
You could even probably just type 'wish' in a terminal and type 'pack [text .t]' to get a text widget in the main application and see if you can reproduce it.
Either way, I thought this locking up would be discussed in that thread I sent you, maybe I'm wrong and it's discussed in other threads of the forum.. but I'm still pretty sure that this is a SCIM issue.. considering that I guessed that from the start without any input from your part....
I think there's a way to disable the input manager, I think something like 'export X_MODIFIERS=""' or something like that.. I'm not sure, since like I said, I never used any input manager... that would probably show that the locking issue disappears if SCIM is disabled for aMSN. Maybe search aMSN forums for SCIM and you might find an answer...
