I was wondering if something was wrong, too.  I haven't had this
particular problem, but I've had a number of processes, including
Emacs, hang in select after VisibilityNotify events, unable to update
their displays.  It's nothing enough to be sure that anything's wrong,
but enough to be noticable.  I'm rebuilding with the latest -current
(as of about 2 hours ago), and will try again.
