My #1 bug that I really wish they would fix is the "freeze when
scrolling" problem. I have only seen this on intel-based Macs (and
I believe it has been covered on this list before).
Until yesterday, I hadn't seen a decent workaround to unfreeze X11
short of killing X11 and restarting it (which is not a reasonable
solution).
For those who haven't seen the solution and have this problem, you
can sample the X11 process in Activity Monitor and X11 will unfreeze.
This is another example of a bug about which we have received
countless reports; Most often, the hang happens while scrolling with
the mouse wheel in XEmacs. Unfortunately, I've spent about an hour
trying to reproduce it, and I can't make it happen. So, yes, I
believe you (and everyone else) when you say it's happened, but
without being able to see it first-hand, I can't fix it. :(
