Hello,

    well, as far as I remember I've seen this bug in other circumstances as
    well. But I can't remember in detail. This was the reason for opening it
    against emacs 21 since I've seen it there, too.

    Due to lack of time (I'm on a training for the rest of the week) I will
    do further investigation on this next week:

    o Using a new compiled emacs instance without motif support.
    o starting emacs with -q option and trying to open a frame only from
      inside emacs.

    I'll inform you when I've got the data.

    Regards -- Peter
