Can you use C-g to wake Emacs up? Normally, C-g works.
If C-g wakes Emacs up, then please do C-u 1 M-x toggle-debug-on-quit
RET, then start Gnus, then wake Emacs up with C-g. You should get a
backtrace which shows you what Emacs was doing when you hit C-g. Now
try to hit `c', then wait a few minutes, then hit C-g again. Compare
the new backtrace. Lather, rinse, repeat. Can you spot any pattern?
Another approach to finding out what's wrong is to run Emacs like
this:
strace emacs
Then you can see what Emacs is doing in the xterm where you typed the
above command. Please see what happens when you start Gnus. (Emacs
will run a bit slower with this command. But it's for debugging
only.)
