I *think* I've managed to track down this fix this problem - it seems
to be synergy! My mac is a synergy client to a linux machine - so I
use the linux keyboard and mouse to control the macbook.

synergys & synergyc are both version 1.3.1, protocol version 1.3

Interestingly enough the libraries listed by otool -L all do NOT come
from pkgsrc:
otool -L /usr/pkg/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs 
/usr/pkg/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs:
        /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/AppKit
        (compatibility version 45.0.0, current version 949.43.0)
        /usr/lib/libncurses.5.4.dylib (compatibility version 5.4.0,
        current version 5.4.0)
        /usr/lib/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
        current version 1.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0,
        current version 111.1.3)
        
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/CoreServices
        (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 32.0.0)
        /usr/lib/libobjc.A.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
        version 227.0.0)
        
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation
        (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 476.17.0)
        
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/ApplicationServices
        (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 34.0.0)
        /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Versions/C/Foundation
        (compatibility version 300.0.0, current version 677.22.0)

One more thing, the previous version of Emacs23.0.60 (2008/12/04) that
I was using had a working Preferences menu (Command-,) - i.e. the
preferences menu was specific to Cocoa Emacs and had options such as
swapping the Command and Meta keys. The version I built yesterday
(23.0.91.1) opens up a *Customize Group: Emacs* buffer instead of the
cocoa specific preferences window.

Do others experience this too?
