Hi Sharon,

Yes it seems similar to what I am seeing though I haven't tried to deduce
what is causing the block. I could verify if my block is taking place for
similar reasons such as what you mention if that helps someone here.

A question that has been going through my mind has been if this is related
to X11 specifically or other channels too and your reply answers that.

I agree that a quick hack won't solve this, I have a temporary 2 second
timeout but that's not the right way to do this.

I'll try to collect more info on why things are failing at my end too,
in the meantime
if someone here needs me to try something specific in order to figure this
please let me know.

Thanks :)

Bye for now
Jeetu
