Hi Andre
I could duplicate this behaviour with Netscape and IE which are the only
W32 programs I'm running on a regular basis besides Far. But I haven't
noticed this behaviour because I usually boot W2K, than run XWin and XEmacs and
then startup Netscape. When shutting down I close XEmacs, shutdown XWin
and then shutdown the rest of the system. So I never noticed Netscape
hanging. By the way, Far (an Norton Commander clone) doesn't hang.
I'll upload a new version of XEmacs which fixes this problem and the
boring Warning message during startup about not finding it's obvious
root hirarchy tomorrow.
Ciao
