You have been subscribed to a public bug: After using emacs for a while (sometimes hours, sometimes days) the text in them will go garbled, and the cursor disappears. xfce4-terminals also sometimes change their coloring while they're running. Restarting the terminal or emacs doesn't help, but restarting X does. I'm using xrandr on the command line to do dual displays. Yeah, this is kind of a crappy bug report but I'm not sure how to describe what I'm seeing in terms that Google understands. I'm plenty happy to help troubleshoot.
This is a 11.10 server (upgraded from 11.04 original install) with the xubuntu packages added later which I now use as my desktop.
