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). But if I interrupt with C-g, then do vm-get-new-mail (g) again, it does not grab the keyboard. 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. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
