hi, maybe this bug is not so important. It occurred in vain. I am using an Intel P-III processor with 128MB ram. I am using Redhat linux 6.22 the bug is as follows. I am an embedded systems programmer. While testing my bluetooth protocol stack, i usually tend to lock my session and go for a break. I came across the "secure keyboard" feature - by clicking the right mouse button on the terminal window in the X session. That way i secured the keyboard to one of the the terminal window. Then i locked my workstation.. i had also enabled the screen saver. after locking..i saw a 2 line message on the screen ..it appeared..something like...xscrnserver - couldnot grab the keyboad : already grabbed... and then later when i tried to unlock the session ... the login window didnot let me enter the password or type any character. the only thing i could do was to restart my system. I apologize if this bug has already been reported or fixed. thanks and regards K.Pavan Kumar
Emacs is not the component grabbing the keyboard - the terminal is. It also did just what you told it to... if you want to shoot yourself in the foot, you're allowed to.
