This sounds similar to a bug that is fixed in 21.4.8-3, you might want to
try updating.

Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!
I'm having problems with XEmacs getting into a state where it refuses
to refresh its windows. The buffers seem to continue to respond to
keystrokes and if I hit C-l (recenter), the display refreshes and
shows any changes I've made. The only thing I've found that fixes
things is to minimize and restore the window. Once I've done that
every thing seems to work normally until the next time it gets
confused.
I'm not using any special window managers, but I am running on a dual
headed machine.
I have noticed that the problem seems to occur most often right after
I've run a command that invokes a background process
(e.g. cvs-update). It doesn't happen every time, but if the command
take a while to complete (e.g. a couple of seconds) it seems to happen
very frequently.
