I can say more about this problem now.
when this happens, all frames ignore the keyboard except for the comint frame
(inferior ocaml, lisp, bash &c) which do respond.
i.e., I can type into the ocaml interaction buffer and then, after I do that,
other frames see the keyboard again too.
alas, if this happens when I do not have an interactive buffer, my only
recourse it so kill emacs...

mouse works: I can select, paste, use menus (including undo), but the
keyboard is silently ignored: I can type into xterm (actually, gnome
terminal), thunderbird (like I am doing now), caps lock and num lock
work fine - but emacs does not respond to any keypresses (including C-g
and C-]). loadavg is 0.
I cannot figure out what triggers this behavior and why the keyboard
input resumes (usually, after a few minutes of inactivity).
I am running under gdb, so if you tell me where to look, we can probably
debug this problem together.
