  Hi all,

At some point an annoyance appeared with my xterm windows: The first 
time I use [ctrl]+mouse click in any window, that xterm becomes 
unresponsive for about 5 seconds with the CPU pegged to 100%. After the 
five seconds is up, whatever shell spawned the xterm receives the 
following message:
> Warning: Missing charsets in String to FontSet conversion

After that all works normally (until I open the next xterm window).

Is there a way to diagnose what the problem is? I don't know what 
FontSet string the error even refers to, let alone which parts of that 
string were invalid. In any case, it really shouldn't take five seconds 
of hard CPU crunching to detect and report an invalid input string.

I found one message from last year's archives that mentioned certain 
Japanese fonts, but in that case they knew which fonts were missing. I'd 
rather not go installing every font known to man just in hopes of  
catching the missing one.

Thoughts?
Ryan
