The deadlock occurs for me on one monitor. One thing I notice just
before it usually happens is that I usually select something in an
xterm but before I paste that first crash into a Windows app, that
xterm will get more input and the selection disappears, as usually
happens. Might that have something to do with it? Sorry I can't
contribute more at the moment but I'm really busy with work.
BTW running Win2K and xserv 44.
