Thanks.  Some comments:

  . We generally avoid naming proprietary products, and instead say
    something like "some proprietary X servers".
  . The part that this problem is only known to happen with Emacs
    doesn't seem important (this is, after all, a file that deals
    solely with Emacs-related problems), and I'd omit it.
  . I'd prefer not to send the reader to read the bug discussion, and
    instead would tell here the important parts of what was said there
    that clarify the issue (if there are such details there).
  . We usually try to describe some workarounds -- do they exist in
    this case?
