OK, that explains why I don't see it on Linux, I'm currently using trunk there. > I didn't want to complicate the release > announcement by giving all this information; I thought it would be > enough to say, "... you should have a D-Bus session daemon running > before starting emacs under X11." Understood. s/should/must/ BTW, as noted elsewhere in the thread, the hang was apparently triggered by the attempt to use an X11 font in the W32 build via custom-set-faces (due to the fact that both builds used the same .emacs and customization), so it does not happen with emacs -Q. In fact, I've not been able to even try using that font any other way so far, both "--font" and "--eval '(set-default-font" correctly refuse to use this undefined font. Why it manages to bypass that guard when invoked via custom-set-faces I need to check again.
