Yeah, I've run into that, too. I don't use emacs at home all that
often, so I'm using the simple workaround of running emacs in "no
window" mode in an rxvt. (Just run "emacs -nw".)
Now, this is not acceptable for everyone. If you can't work with that,
take a look at the list archives; there are Debian packages for XFree86
3.3.5, which might have fixed this bug. (Search for 'netgod' - I know
that's part of the address where it's stored.)
