Well, I haven't been ignoring this; but since I don't have this
problem, I haven't come up with any good ideas.
I have a modified maxima.el that *might* help.  It's at
ftp://vh213601.truman.edu/pub/Test/maxima.el
If someone with one of the above problems wants to, they can try it
out and let me know.  (This maxima.el does cause a problem with
updating the first cell in an emaxima buffer, but that can be taken
care of if this works.)
