keyboard jams when switching windows tasks

[Daniel Goertzen]

xev behaved correctly when the xev window had focus when I switched to a 
MS Windows app (I assume correct means that it spewed key and mouseover 
events)

When the Konsole that launched xev was given focus and I did the 
freezing trick, all output halted until I did the unfreezing trick 
again.  I did observe that in the frozen state, pressing ctrl-C in the 
launching Konsole made the xev window go away, but still no signs of 
life in the Konsole itself.  Maybe just the output of the Konsole is 
getting jammed up rather than the input?

I will happily perform more tests if you like.  If I have time tomorrow, 
i might tcpdump some normal and "frozen" traffic to test the frozen 
output theory.

Cheers,
Dan.
