I used to see this before running a tiling window manager (XMonad),
but it has gone away sometime in recent years.  I don't think I've
changed anything in my configuration.

Are you still seeing this on a modern version of Emacs?  If I don't
hear back from you within a couple of weeks, I'll just assume that
this is fixed and close this bug as unreproducible.

Best regards,
Stefan Kangas
