Subject: 23.2; lose of focus to edit buffer
--text follows this line--

this is a very consistent and annoying bug, i've been dealing with for a
while!

when i click on another window (outside of emacs) and then click back on 
emacs, i am unable to type anything in the edit buffer, it basically 
seems like emacs is hung! there is no response with any key-binding etc.

what i have to do is click on the menubar and then click inside the edit
buffer and i am able to type again.

i've notice for some reason the toolbar gets the keyboard focus when
this happen and it will not let go? i can use the left/right cursor keys
and i see an underline move (see attached pic, underline is on new file)

I am using kubuntu 10.10 x86_64, this only seem to happen with I guess 
KDE? I also use xubuntu on my laptop and I never see this bug.

it's enough to make me want to stop using emacs, i am sure there are 
many others who have tried and stop using emacs thinking it kept hanging 
or crashing and wrote it off as useless


Kind Regards,
Rajinder Yadav
