For Lennart's questions: 1. Yes, the problem persists after reboot. 2. The problem only occurs with emacs. For example, if emacs only covers part of the window if I click on the outlook or firefox in the background, alt-tab works as it should. 3. Since the behavior is tied to the emacs window, everything is okay when that window does not have the focus, and after emacs has been closed using C-x-C-c
For Eli's question: I have tried it both shutting down emacs and doing a reboot and by doing the reboot with emacs running. In both cases, I get the PID message when the system comes back up. I am the owner of the file.
