Bug Description

Hi I am running Ubuntu 10.04.4, with Emacs version 23.2.

Occasionally, when I start a new emacs window from the terminal, and then move the window, emacs freezes. I am unable to click on anything or edit anything. When this happens I close the window and open it again. This doesn't always happens, and I think it happens most when I open the window and do not type or edit anything before I move it. I think if I click anywhere on emacs or scroll down or make any edits, and then move the window, I don't have this problem.

This is not the end of the world, as it works enough for me to be able to use the program. That being said, this is very annoying, and I would really like to solve it.

Thanks,
Zack

Whenever emacs doesn't respond, I use my mouse to click "File", then click "File" again, and then I get back my emacs. It is very annoying, enough to stop me using emacs altogether.

Same thing happens to me too, and I think it's been like this since more than a year ago. It's 2013 January, and I still experience this often times in my VMWare virtual machine with Ubuntu 10.04 x64.
