I don't know if that is a requirement. This is usually how it happens: * I click on my emacs icon. * The emacs main frame (window) opens but emacs hasn't fully loaded yet (the usual emacs text isn't shown yet). * I click on the emacs title bar and move the window around the screen. The last time I tried this, I already had an emacs frame open so clicking on my emacs icon opened emacs very quickly. So I closed all emacs frames and tried to exhaust my memory so emacs would open very slowly, so I'd have the time lag between clicking and emacs fully loading itself. I just tried adding a (sleep-for 3) at the end of my ~/.emacs file and kept moving emacs around but it refused to crash now. Possibly because I just closed it. Is there any program to record a video of what you're doing? I could try that and upload it to youtube if I ever reproduce it.
