Re: xemacs keeps keyboard focus while fetching vm-imap messages.

Just happened again today, and I have a few insights. This always
happens to me Monday, when I have a ton of email messages waiting
on the IMAP server. And I think it only happens when I start up a
new XEmacs! The first time I run it, vm-get-new-mail goes into
the "stuck" keyboard grap state (will not let go of focus and
cannot minimize frame state).
I don't understand why it would have a problem with minimizing the
frame. A keyboard grab is what it says: all keyboard events go to the
window specified by the grabbing client. I don't understand why it
would raise the frame without input....
I have my vm password in my .xemacs/custom.el file, so vm does not
need to read any password from the keyboard. But I'm suspecting
that it's going through a code path involving read-passwd' calling
'passwd-grab-keyboard', even though this is unnecessary.
You could advise passwd-grab-keyboard to issue a message when it's
called (or edebug and break on it), I guess, to see if that's actually
what's happening.
