 Hi,
 
 The problem still exists for me, I just recompiled various components.
 Here's my current environment where I'm seeing the problem:
 
 - NetBSD 4-current (up to date as of last week) for macppc
 - glib 2.18.1
 - gtk 2.12.12
 - emacs 22.3
 
 If I start using Emacs, it works for a bit, for instance scrolling now
 no longer immediately triggers the freeze.  However, trying to move
 between different pull-down menus can still make it freeze:
 
 load averages:  1.00,  0.97,  1.15                                           
                                                                          up

 All I did to cause that was to select "File", then I moved to
 "Options", at which point Emacs froze.  I also tried scrolling back and
 forth vertically a few times, and after maybe five iterations, it
 froze.
 
 I tried to attach ktrace while it was frozen, but it didn't generate
 any output at all.
 
 Regards,
 
 Dave
