- What happened.
i started xemacs as usual,
office% DISPLAY=:0 xemacs -f gnuserv-start&
then i got home without closing xemacs, so that, at home, i did
home% ssh me@office
office% gnuclient -nw
with the intention of using VM to read my mail, but i found that all
the window management breakage in ttys that was recently fixed
showed again... you know, all the "no window to the side of this
window" stuff, the windows that are resized smaller and smaller, the
cursor that lands outside of managed windows...
NB windows' management in a emacs frame works fine (uh, not quite)
when i start xemacs from a tty, the mess represented itself _only_
when i attached, using a tty, to a gnuserv connected to a xemacs
process running under X
the "uh, not quite" refers of course to VM, that, for me, is jumpy
and unpleasant to use (screen redraws, glitches, anything bad) also
when used in X --- i suppose that VM does much more, or just does
different, than other packages when it comes to moving windows
around, exposing glitches in current windows code
