Does that mean the bug doesn't happen in the regular X build, or does it
mean that nothing happens if you run the PGTK build under X Windows?

And what happens if you comment out this code in `readable_events' in
keyboard.c?

  if (!(flags & READABLE_EVENTS_IGNORE_SQUEEZABLES) && some_mouse_moved ())
    return 1;
  if (single_kboard)
    {
      if (current_kboard->kbd_queue_has_data)
	return 1;
    }
  else
    {
      KBOARD *kb;
      for (kb = all_kboards; kb; kb = kb->next_kboard)
	if (kb->kbd_queue_has_data)
	  return 1;
    }
