Slight difference:
Emacs doesn't react to keyboard entries after having been minimized via C-z BUT C-x C-f then goes into the minibuffer to find a file (without the -Q option it opens a gtk open file dialog).  And after switching buffers, see see, the keyboard entries all of a sudden are there in the previous (formerly 'blocked') buffer.

Launch (|call|execute|run) emacs under xorg, type C-z (that is in emacs-talk: hold control key and press z key--this is supposed to minimize emacs into a symbol tray status or suchlike).  Then hit M-tab (hold Alt (|Meta) key and press Tab key once, this is supposed I suppose in most window managers to switch to the most recent other window, so it should bring the minimized emacs back to front and focus).  Hit keys sdfghjk (or whatever)--nothing happens in the buffer, it looks as if emacs was hung, and so it was in the past when I first posted this bug report.

    > Could you please also say which window manager you are using?

enlightenment, in version 0.22.4

    > Best regards, Stefan Kangas

Hope this helps, anyway the problem is negligible now i guess.

Brgds, enno.
