Does this help?
,----
| ** Emacs pauses for several seconds when changing the default font.
|
| This has been reported for fvwm 2.2.5 and the window manager of KDE
| 2.1. The reason for the pause is Xt waiting for a ConfigureNotify
| event from the window manager, which the window manager doesn't send.
| Xt stops waiting after a default timeout of usually 5 seconds.
|
| A workaround for this is to add something like
|
| emacs.waitForWM: false
|
| to your X resources. Alternatively, add `(wait-for-wm . nil)' to a
| frame's parameter list, like this:
|
| (modify-frame-parameters nil '((wait-for-wm . nil)))
|
| (this should go into your `.emacs' file).
