I *think* (my guess) it is the same problem because Emacs hangs *only*
if I open a dialog clicking on one of the three first icons. I use GTK
builds since Apr 2008 and never seen this. However it is my guess...
In any case some other details.
When I start Emacs:
$ G_SLICE=always-malloc emacs23 -q &
the command 'ps' shows:

---------------------
(only emacs process)
When I open a dialog (for example 'Read an existing file...'), then ps:
------------------------------------

------------------------------------
(emacs+gam_server) and in /tmp, now I find the directory 'fam-graziosi'
If I close the dialog:
--------
$ ps

3848 1 3104 456 con 1006 09:46:21 /usr/bin/XWin

--------
(still emacs+gam_server)+/tmp/fam-graziosi
Now if I quit from Emacs (File | Quit), it hangs for about 30 seconds and:
---------------------------------
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
3848 1 3104 456 con 1006 09:46:21 /usr/bin/XWin

I 2172 1464 2172 3208 0 1006 09:46:30 /usr/bin/bash
1852 1 2144 2824 con 1006 09:46:50
/usr/local/mrxvt/bin/mrxvt
2692 1852 2692 3644 1 1006 09:46:50 /usr/bin/bash
1988 1 2624 3080 ? 1006 10:13:04
/usr/lib/gamin/gam_server
3800 2692 3800 1196 1 1006 10:15:50 /usr/bin/ps
---------------------------------
i.e. 'gam_server' is still there while the hanging. Only after the Emacs
window goes away,
----------
$ ps
PID PPID PGID WINPID TTY UID STIME COMMAND
3848 1 3104 456 con 1006 09:46:21 /usr/bin/XWin
1464 1 1464 1464 ? 1006 09:46:30 /usr/bin/mintty
I 2172 1464 2172 3208 0 1006 09:46:30 /usr/bin/bash
1852 1 2144 2824 con 1006 09:46:50
/usr/local/mrxvt/bin/mrxvt
2692 1852 2692 3644 1 1006 09:46:50 /usr/bin/bash
3312 2692 3312 1836 1 1006 10:17:09 /usr/bin/ps
----------
But still we have /tmp/fam-graziosi.
If I do not open a dialog and work with 'command line', for example C-x
C-f to read an existing file or C-x C-c to quit, there is NO hanging or
gam-server process.
I suspect (still my guess) that, really, is gam-server which is hanging.
Cheers,
Angelo.
