bug#9893: C-z suspends Emacs "forever" (gtk3, Gnome shell)

[Paul Eggert]

[This follows up a thread on emacs-devel:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2011-10/msg00956.html>.]

I can reproduce the problem on my host (Fedora Core 15, x86-64),
starting with the trunk (bzr 106209), as follows:

  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure CFLAGS=-g --with-x-toolkit=gtk3
  make -j5
  cd src
  ./emacs -Q
  [ Type C-z into the new Emacs session. ]
  [ Use the Gnome shell Activities to bring Emacs back onto the screen. ]
  [ Emacs comes back onto the screen, but typing into it is ineffective. ]

Here's a backtrace of a frozen Emacs, which I started under GDB
(this is actually bootstrap-emacs):
