If an X server freeze occurs and is not remedied by killing Emacs (by
logging out), it's likely not Emacs's fault.  However, that the cursor
can continue to move suggests that a stray server grab may be involved,
which can be a problem with Emacs.

Doug, would you please tell me whether you are using an X compositing
manager, or if anything unusual is printed inside the X server logs?  If
not, would you please run Emacs under a tool like xscope, redirect its
output somewhere, and send it here?

Thanks.
