That last bit seems quite like a freeze that I've seen occasionally in
recent Xquartz beta versions. The couple of times that I saw it were
not during monitor add/remove events, but being able to do menu actions
matches up. If you can reproduce it (so far I cannot), try the
workaround of hiding and re-exposing X11 to see if it comes back to
life.
