No chunks or exceptions in my case.
What I see is that the app fails to repaint properly. It looks like a
freeze, but you can unwedge it by using your window manager's icon to resize
the window. (4.2-stable, X 3.3.6, plus twm as wm) Leaving out the Window
manager entirely gives the same behaviour.
Thus, in my application you can start it and get the initial screen. By
alternating typing and resizing I can log into my program. (use "guest" as a
user name) Menues work by blindly stabbing at where you'd expect the
menuitems to be.
The app seems fully functional, it just needs manual repaint commands from
the user. Perhaps I can document this behaviour and call it a "feature". :)
