On NetBSD and OpenBSD, using emacs 29.4 I need to use gtk2 version. gtk3 will freeze X for a period of time, rarely forever when I try and use the menus.

Hoping that was fixed with this version :) But my guess the issue lies with gtk3, the NetBSD people had said in some cases gtk3 acts odd.

OpenBSD has the gtk2 compiled package, but on NetBSD I need to compile emacs/gtk2 myself via pkgsrc.

Outside of that all works great and waiting for 30.x to show up in packages. Congratulations.

The gtk maintainers ran out of fucks to give for anyone except Linux/Wayland users years ago. Honestly, emacs-lucid is the smoothest most stable experience if you're still on X11.

Sadly emacs-lucid does not exist in OpenBSD or nor NetBSD. But I expect compiling it myself would not be that difficult.

I hate having to build stuff myself, but I must say that Emacs is pretty easy to compile
