I guess it's a problem with your DOSEMU being frozen while switched away 
from it. Otherwise you would have the problem that the running DOSEMU 
might be able to corrupt your screen while in X, for instance, or that the 
video card is in a different state than the DOS program expects it to be 
when you switch back (because background emulation doesn't work well).

I heard some reports that IPX servers expect some "sanding" to occur from 
clients and I don't think that DOSEMU does that itself while in "frozen" 
state -- but then I'm entirely unfamiliar to the IPX code. Stas, do you 
know?

do you use $_console=(1), but $_graphics=(0), or do you have both set to 
"(1)"? If so, what is the reason? Speed? Mouse?
