Package: emacs23-lucid
Version: 23.2+1-7
Severity: normal

(I am strongly debating to myself whether this is a Grave
functionality bug because of the data corruption in config files that
go unnoticed because C-s directed the user to a different part of the
file)

This bug looks similar to #608417 (which is this bug:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-09/msg00782.html )

but the symptoms are different, and probably as a result of emacs
trying to query the background colour:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2009-08/msg00533.html

Sometimes, perhaps on slow remote connections, "11;rgb:0000/0000/0000"
gets inserted into a buffer at the cursor position.

I think it must be when I open emacs to a config file, and immediately
type C-s to search for a clause.  Perhaps this pauses xterm before the
terminal is configured to not pause for C-s.  Then perhaps the timer
registers, sets up the terminal, and unpauses it (and even actions the
C-s search (hence why I didn't notice that it inserted the string
somewhere else in the file).  Meanwhile, the response from the
terminal comes back too late, and gets echoed to the buffer instead of
interpreted by emacs.  The fix is probably to remove the timer if
there is such one (see the first thread I posted about the reponse to
";0c" being missed by the timer), since no one has ever documented a
case where the terminal is TERM=xterm, but doesn't repond to these
escape codes properly (and anyone doing such a silly thing deserves
what they get).
