Problem using x-symbol 18 years, 6 months

S. Vater

Hi, I want to use x-symbol with xemacs. But when I load a LaTeX file, I get the message at the end of my posting. I am using xemacs version 21.5.21 of February 2005 (+CVS-20050720) and in my ~/.xemacs/init.el I have written at the end: (define-specifier-tag 'mule-fonts) (x-symbol-initialize) Can anybody help me with this? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) (local-variables/warning) Error in File local-variables: Symbol's value as variable is void: allow-remote-paths Backtrace follows: # bind (file-name) file-remote-p("/texfilepath/") x-symbol-image-available-p() # bind (value dummy) x-symbol-set-image(nil 46) # bind (conversion) x-symbol-mode-internal(t) # bind (disabled disabled1 disabled0 new-mode old-mode special arg) x-symbol-mode(nil init) turn-on-x-symbol-conditionally() run-hooks(turn-on-x-symbol-conditionally) # bind (force) hack-local-variables(nil) #<compiled-function nil "...(5)" [find-file hack-local-variables] 2>() # (unwind-protect ...) call-with-condition-handler(#<compiled-function (__call_trapping_errors_arg__) "...(17)" [__call_trapping_errors_arg__ errstr error-message-string lwarn local-variables warning "Error in %s: %s\n\nBacktrace follows:\n\n%s" "File local-variables" backtrace-in-condition-handler-eliminating-handler] 8> #<compiled-function nil "...(5)" [find-file hack-local-variables] 2>) # (condition-case ... .

(1) (xintl/error) Can't initialize XIM: XCreateIC failed 18 years, 6 months

T F

i'm using [version 21.5.25 of February 2006 (+CVS-20060326)] which is what came standard with suse 10.1 pardon me if this is the wrong place to post this error. if so, please let me know which is the correct list. the error I get every time i start xemacs is: (1) (xintl/error) Can't initialize XIM: XCreateIC failed i'm not sure what xintl xim xcreateic are, but bfrom googling, it seems they are related to Japanese features, which I do not have need of in the near future. otherwise, google has not been of any help in fixing this myself. any recommendations would be appreciated. thanks in advance, mike

[Bug: 21.4.19] xemacs crashes when I start gnus 18 years, 6 months

David Carlton

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I use Gnus (version 5.10.7) to read newsgroups and mail. When I start it up, it asks me for my username and password for newsgroups, reads some data via nntp, then crashes. I don't get as far as being asked for my imap password. This is 100% repeatable. (Of course, it only started happening for the first time a couple of nights ago. I have no idea what changed; I don't believe I did a yum update or anything recently.) Fortunately, there is a workaround: if I touch .newsrc before starting Gnus, it doesn't happen. Still, it's pretty aggravating. The elisp backtrace that gets printed on exit is as follows: # bind (form) gnus-byte-compile((lambda (file orig-file) (nnmail-split-incoming file (quote nnml-save-mail) (quote nil) (if ... nil ...) (quote nnml-active-number)))) # bind (source incomings incoming total new i group-in # fetching-sources sources spool-func group temp exit-func method) nnmail-get-new-mail(nnml nnml-save-nov "~/Mail/" nil) # bind (server group) nnml-request-scan(nil "") # bind (gnus-command-method gnus-inhibit-demon mail-source-plugged # gnus-command-method group) gnus-request-scan(nil (nnml "")) # bind (where mesg force method) gnus-read-active-file-1((nnml "") nil) # (condition-case ... .

If not, how can I help figure out what's going on? I'm happy (or at least willing :-) ) to rebuild XEmacs myself to improve debuggability, if that's necessary. Hmm: the fact that touching .newsrc, which (I think) forces .newsrc.eld to be rebuilt, has an effect, suggests that there might be an issue with reading the latter; I'm happy to e-mail it as well if that would help.

AW: AW: xemacs trouble maximizing window 18 years, 6 months

Krueger, Wulf

> If so, the WMs are broken. One application [XEmacs] misbehaves when its window is being maximised. Not a single other application I've ever seen in a decade of Linux usage or so does in *this* way. So your conclusion is the WMs are broken? I beg to differ. Even if they were, even if kwin and metacity *were* broken (not to speak of several others I've used during those years) - are we talking about usability here or about standards compliance? Do you want to give your users a satisfying experience or do you want to enforce standards? Don't get me wrong. I love standards. My job is to define, introduce and enforce standards. Standards butter my bread. But as a user I want my software to support me doing my job. I don't want to have to remember not to maximise a window. > I know that modern text widgets (by Procrustes[tm]) don't care about > that, but I do like it that way, and I don't see why XEmacs should > change this behavior unless the users *want* their lines wrapped or > truncated differently just because they changed font sizes. Well, I'm not really into the technical details. I'm mostly a user when it comes to XEmacs. I don't really care if XEmacs line-wraps the stuff (which seems natural to me, though, when changing the font size) or still gives me the number of columns I might have unconciously told it. I *do* care about the fact that maximising XEmacs has been broken now for quite some time for me, though, because it's *really* annoying. If I can help you track this problem down just let me know.

XEmacs 21.5.27 "fiddleheads" is released. 18 years, 6 months

Stephen J. Turnbull

* XEmacs 21.5.27 "fiddleheads" is released. "fiddleheads" is the twenty-eighth in the VEGETABLE series. The successor to XEmacs 21.5.26 "endive", "fiddleheads" adds fixes for two annoying bugs by Stephen Turnbull. Fixing a historical design error in the geometry eliminated the display jitter observed when maximizing an XEmacs frame under several window managers including metacity and kwin. One user reports continuing trouble with kwin, but says that it appears to be a problem of kwin. Several others report that the jitter is fixed under one or more window managers they used. Better handling of Xft font resources in lwlib allows specification of the font for the buffers tab widget via X resource. There remain some issues in this area. Steve also provided a new node on "Xft Font Customization" in the User's Guide. Aidan Kehoe ported the GNU Emacs facility for identifying the source file of built-in identifiers in introspective functions like `describe-function' and `find-function'. He also changed the Lisp reader to accept Unicode code points rather than Mule characters in read-quoted-character (based on a suggestion by Pete Forman), and added the "\u" and "\U" escapes for Unicode code points in the Lisp read syntax for characters and strings. Joachim Schrod provided a better heuristic for detecting ISO 8859 text, which should reduce the incorrect identification of ISO 8859 texts as Big5 dramatically. The heuristic is carefully tuned to not cause the reverse problem, but users of Asian two-byte scripts should watch for errors in identification. Tony Bennett contributed a patch to the code which handles process output. This should speed up some process handling by as much as two orders of magnitude for cases where the old code was extremely inefficient. Jerry James added support for older versions of ALSA, based on a report by Ilya Golubev. Of course, there was the usual array of small improvements and bug fixes. *Important Notices* There are reports of problems with geometry management, likely due to fixing the "metacity maximize" bug. These are separate bugs uncovered by that fix, so the patch probably will not be reverted. However, you can restore the previous behavior by setting the Lisp variable `wedge-metacity' to a non-nil value. Either way, please report such problems as a bug, and say whether changing the value of `wedge-metacity' helps resolve them. The patchkit xemacs-21.5.25-21.5.26.patch.gz was broken. I apologize for the inconvenience. The patchkit and its detached GPG signature have been replaced. There are a number of undiagnosed crashes lurking, especially on the x86_64 platform. A number of 64-bit bugs have been fixed, so it's possible they've been fixed en passant, but since they're undiagnosed, please be prudent, save often, and back up your essential data. * About the XEmacs 21.5 series. This is the development line. The current series started with XEmacs 21.5.0 (an alias for XEmacs 21.4.0 "Solid Vapor", the first release in the current stable line). 21.5 is the code base for introduction of major new subsystems and fixes to design bugs that experience shows will introduce instability. So far the main effort has been on improved support for Unicode, updates to the build infrastructure, and development of new features in memory allocation. For general information about XEmacs, the developers, and the user community, see our home page, http://www.xemacs.org/ * XEmacs 21.5.27 is "beta" software. The usual "no warranty" disclaimer (see etc/WARRANTY, sections 10 and 11) applies. At this point in time, it is the version that most developers are using for their daily work. However, it is certain that many bugs remain and new ones will be introduced as development proceeds. Be sure to take care to save your work often and follow a regular backup regime. Note that part of the release process involves a full build and test cycle, with no regressions. However, one build on the release engineer's host is all the quality assurance that is done for most beta releases. Be sure to checkpoint a known good version of XEmacs (eg, a CVS tag or tarball) before overwriting your XEmacs source tree. * Availability Anonymous ftp: ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/xemacs-21.5 See http://www.xemacs.org/Install/ for more information about building from source. If you already have a 21.5.26 source tree, a patchkit is available in xemacs-21.5.26-21.5.27.patch.gz. This does not update .elcs or .infos, they will be rebuilt when you make XEmacs. If you have an earlier version, you can repeatedly apply patchkits. We thank our hosts at Tux.org, and numerous mirrors around the world, for providing space and bandwidth for distributing XEmacs. Also, if you don't have the packages yet, see http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html. Anonymous (pserver) CVS: Anonymous CVS is available. We are very grateful to the staff at our host, dotsrc.org (formerly SunSITE.dk), for a lot of help and quick response to all our requests. Take care that your Root is set correctly to CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs＠cvs.xemacs.org:/pack/xemacscvs On platforms with a Bourne shell and find available, something like for r in `find . -name Root`; do echo $CVSROOT > $r; done will convert your entire tree. To make it straightforward to access certain versions of the code, we have a standard tagging policy. To update to release 21.5.27, use the update flag "-r r21-5-27". To update to the current release without referring to it specifically, use the flag "-r r21-5-current-beta". To update to the latest commits in CVS, use the flag "-A". Then rebuild XEmacs. For more details, see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/cvsaccess.html or the ViewCVS interface at http://cvs/xemacs.org . * Brief summary of Changes to XEmacs 21.5.27 "fiddleheads" Major Features and Backward Incompatible Changes -- fix: better autodetect of ISO 8859 vs. Big5 -- Joachim Schrod -- fix: shell widget geometry management (metacity maximize bug) -- Stephen J.

problem with shifted function keys on FC3 X11 18 years, 6 months

Greg Klanderman

Hi, Since switching to Fedora Core 3 from Red Hat 7.3, shifted versions of the function keys and some keypad keys are no longer distinguished from their non-shifted counterparts. For example, pressing the keypad "multiply" key returns the XEmacs key "kp-multiply" whether or not I have the shift key down. The problem is in this code in xemacs/src/event-Xt.c: | /* If this key contains two distinct keysyms, that is, | "shift" generates a different keysym than the | non-shifted key, then don't apply the shift modifier | bit: it's implicit. Otherwise, if there would be no | other way to tell the difference between the shifted | and unshifted version of this key, apply the shift bit. | Non-graphics, like Backspace and F1 get the shift bit | in the modifiers slot. Neither the characters "a", | "A", "2", nor "＠" normally have the shift bit set. | However, "F1" normally does. */ | if (modifiers & XEMACS_MOD_SHIFT) | { | int Mode_switch_p = *state & xd->ModeMask; | KeySym bot = XLookupKeysym (ev, Mode_switch_p ? 2 : 0); | KeySym top = XLookupKeysym (ev, Mode_switch_p ? 3 : 1); | if (top && bot && top != bot) | modifiers &= ~XEMACS_MOD_SHIFT; | } which appears to be the same in all recent 21.4 and 21.5 series; I've mostly been using 21.4.14. This code is incorrectly clearing the shift modifier bit from these keys. The problem is that while on RH7.3 there is only one keysym defined for the keycode for each of these keys: | % xmodmap -pk | grep -i kp_multiply | 63 0xffaa (KP_Multiply) on FC3, there are two: | % xmodmap -pk | grep -i kp_multiply | 63 0xffaa (KP_Multiply) 0x1008fe21 (XF86_ClearGrab) I'm using the xorg-x11-6.8.2-1.FC3.45.2 package. The keycode to keysym bindings seem to be coming from here: | % find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 -type f | xargs grep -i XF86_ClearGrab | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compat/xfree86: interpret XF86_ClearGrab { | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/srvr_ctrl: symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Multiply, XF86_ClearGrab ] | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc: symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Multiply, XF86_ClearGrab ] | /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB:XF86_ClearGrab :1008FE21 What I really don't understand is that the call to XLookupString in x_to_emacs_keysym() is returning the unshifted keysym for these keys even when shifted, while for "a", "2", etc it is returning the second keysym when shifted, i.e. "A", "＠", respectively. I would have expected to get "xf86-cleargrab" when shifting the "kp-multiply" key. Looking at /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/pc: | key <KPMU> { | type="CTRL+ALT", | symbols[Group1]= [ KP_Multiply, XF86_ClearGrab ] | }; it appears that the XF86_ClearGrab keysym is being added to the keypad multiply key for modifiers "CTRL+ALT", so maybe the INDEX argument needed to XLookupKeysym to get the shifted version must now be computed in a different way than the XEmacs code is doing? Or XLookupKeysym is just broken, and we need to instead call XLookupString once on the event we received, and again on a copy of that event with the shift bit cleared, and compare those keysyms. I can try that over the weekend (the FC3 box is at home). I can work around the problem by xmodmap'ing away the second keysyms for the problematic keycodes. However, it would be nice to solve the problem in XEmacs. I didn't look at their code, but FSFMacs is not exhibiting this problem. I'm not on this list, so please keep me copied on any replies. thanks, Greg

default-toolbar-position == left: too narrow 18 years, 6 months

Jerry James

I run with default-toolbar-position set to 'left, because vertical real estate is more precious than horizontal real estate on my screen. XEmacs 21.4 always starts up too narrow; it doesn't account for the toolbar on the left when calculating desired frame width. XEmacs 21.5 used to start up with the toolbar drawn across the top and with the appropriate width for a top toolbar, then immediately shift the toolbar to the left and resize itself to be large enough in the horizontal direction. Sometime in the last couple of days, it stopped resizing itself wider. It now starts up only 75 columns wide, instead of 80. Stephen, might this be related to your recent changes trying to appease the window manager? If so, do you have any idea how we can just calculate the right width in the first place instead of trying to readjust after the fact? Thanks, -- Jerry James, Assistant Professor james(a)xemacs.org Computer Science Department http://www.cs.usu.edu/~jerry/ Utah State University
