Hi Ken,

So I just upgraded to emacs-24 (24.0.96.1), and while it is certainly better, I
wouldn't say it's fixed.

Try opening a text file (I have a ~1000 line piece code).

If you mouse around in the X window, and left click, the emacs cursor is
sluggish to move.

In fact it appears the more mouse movement between clicks, the more sluggish
emacs is to respond.

Something not consuming PointerMotionMask events, perhaps?

best regards,
stephen

(edit to add: the gmane web interface has just given me "moron" as my captcha,
that is awesome!)
