That is, I can see the region where the menubar should be, and the background color looks right, but the gutters, scrollbar, and modeline are all missing, and the frame does not respond to keyboard or mouse events. The next "emacsclient -c" works fine. The thread starting at https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2016-02/msg00891.html has the troubleshooting information that I have collected so far, plus some discussion about what might be causing the observed symptoms and what to do next for troubleshooting.

Hi Stefan, thanks for checking. I can't remember when I last saw this problem. It's been quite awhile since I ran Emacs 24, athyra (the system that I was seeing the problem on) is no longer running Debian 8, and athyra gets significantly less usage than it used to.
