Does Emacs respond to input?  For example, if you move the mouse
pointer to hover above one of the tool-bar buttons and wait for a
second, does a tooltip pop up describing the button?  And if you click
on a menu-bar item, do you see a menu drop down?

If the above produce no response, can you see if Emacs is consuming
CPU cycles?

Thanks.
