Running the TRS-80 emulator "xtrs" under Enlightenment causes the window manager to hang. The mouse still moves and mouse cursors change, but text cannot be typed into any window, windows can't be raised or lowered, no menus come up, if the Gnome panel is on autohide, it can't be pulled up, etc. Basically, nothing works. This happens before xtrs displays a window. I can recover by using Ctrl+Alt+F2 to log in again, killing xtrs, killing Enlightenment (this is necessary), and starting a new copy of Enlightenment. It remanages all the windows and things are OK again. xtrs runs fine under GNOME + WindowMaker, by the way. xtrs's X code was originally written a long time ago, and uses Xlib directly. It doesn't use any toolkit, not even Xt. However, it hasn't killed any other window managers I've tried it with (and no other xtrs users have reported problems to me). You can get a copy of xtrs to try from my TRS-80 page, http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/trs80.html. I realize that getting xtrs running to reproduce the bug may be a bit of a pain, so if you have things I could try here to gather more information, just email me and I'll be glad to give it a shot. --Tim

Behaviour confirmed.
I've put a patch into the E package to fix this. (0.15.5-41)
