Hi.

We're trying to figure out a hang which occurs when using emacs in a
GNOME desktop environment with a11y enabled. The hang goes like this:

- open emacs
- use alt-tab to switch between windows
- emacs hangs

There's a bug filed for this in GNOME bugzilla, but we would welcome any
help from developers who know emacs internals as well. There's
backtraces in the upstream report here:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=392889

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Kjartan Maraas
