Andreas, please make sure to at least CC the list. I live in a disaster area,
although my daily life is relatively unaffected (in fact, I have more than usual
time for my hobbies, but have lost access to a lot resources I use for them)
and cannot promise quick response. CC'ing xemacs-beta and not trimming.

Which MUA are you using?

No, it doesn't help much. However, I can tell from the backtrace that
you crashed in Ffuncall (aka the lisp function funcall) which is very strange.
Since you're using a no-mule build of 21.4, I suspect it is related to
non-ASCII characters, but can't be sure.
I don't know offhand if there's any way to get the numeric addresses
of the arguments to the last Ffuncall. If there is, you should be able
to get at least some Lisp information.
First, see if you have a copy of .gdbinit. If not you can get one from
http://hg.debian.org/hg/xemacs/xemacs-21.4/file/70c8d51df66c/src/.gdbinit.
Then load it into gdb with "source .gdbinit". Then you can use "lbt" to get
a Lisp backtrace (which probably isn't very informative), "lbp <lisp expr>" to
print the value of a Lisp expression, and "pobj" to convert C addresses to
Lisp object information.

Re: [COMMIT] Be better about searching for chars typed via XIM and x-compose.el, isearch
14 years
Aidan Kehoe
Good evening!
Myself and Mats accidentally went off-list with this discussion. In summary
of what we said there:
-- Mats didn’t see any immediate benefit with my patch. He saw the problems
he described earlier in isearch in Gnus Summary buffers and in isearches in
dired, and a distinct set of problems in isearches in Gnus Article buffers.
-- I managed to reproduce his dired and Gnus summary problem when I switched
to a German layout (rather than my modified Irish layout), where ä and ö
have keys to themselves). This can be avoided with a nil value for
try-alternate-layout-for-commands, and I now think that only language
environments with non-Latin scripts should have a non-nil default for this
variable.
-- Mats still has the distinct set of problems in isearches in Gnus Article
buffers, which I have yet to reproduce. (Am renewing my news.individual.net
subscription to that end.)
Mats is curious about the need for try-alternate-layouts-for-commands, so
here’s an attempt to explain what it does; for people in Russia or Greece,
the keyboard by default doesn’t generate Roman-alphabet characters. So it’s
actually comparatively a lot of work to type control f or control b. Not
*so* much of an issue for GUI programs, but much more of an issue for
XEmacs. If try-alternate-layouts-for-commands is non-nil, and command lookup
is about to fail (that is, a message like “C-ь C-ф not defined” would
normally be shown), XEmacs pretends for a second that the keyboard has a US
layout, works out that C-ь C-ф would correspond to C-x C-f on that, and
calls #'find-file interactively. It comes into play in isearch because of
the rewriting of commands that #'isearch-pre-command-hook does in order to
add characters that would normally self-insert to the search string.
Best,
Aidan

Yes, if you know how to do it. In particular, the terminfo capability
max_colors
(just "colors" in terminfo files and "Co" in termcap files) should give you the
right answer on a properly configured system.

I'm using macports too, but I can't find starttls. I also see, now in
the console window that the starttls program is crashing. I can't
tell if it's crashing after the delete-process or before.
My smtp trace is quite similar to yours (when using starttls), except
I don't get the "Process SMTP killed". It just says "closing
connection xxxx".

smtpmail, starttls and gmail
14 years
Raymond Toy
After a long time, I decided I should get xemacs working with my gmail
account. After lots of googling and experimenting, I finally got
xemacs to access my gmail account via imap. This is working fine.
But I can't send mail using smtp.gmail.com. Well, it does eventually
send the mail, but I get an error which makes gnus think the mail was
not sent.
My settings from custom.el are
'(message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
'(smtpmail-auth-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 "toy.raymond(a)gmail.com" nil)))
'(smtpmail-debug-info t)
'(smtpmail-debug-verb t)
'(smtpmail-default-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
'(smtpmail-local-domain nil)
'(smtpmail-smtp-server "smtp.gmail.com")
'(smtpmail-smtp-service 587)
'(smtpmail-starttls-credentials '(("smtp.gmail.com" 587 nil nil))
I have gnutls-cli too.
The contents of *trace SMTP* is appended below where I'm sending
myself a junk message. The message does get sent, though.
Is this a bug in smtpmail/starttls, gnutls-cli, smtp.gmail.com, or
something else? Surely there must be other people accessing gmail.com
with xemacs!
Ray

XEmacs returns the wrong values for display-color-cells
14 years
Jeff Sparkes
(display-color-cells) returns 256 on my 24 bit X display. It returns 0 on
ms-windows. (It also returns 256 on gtk devices).
What's happening is that it's returning the size of the default colormap,
not largest possible one.
I made it return a float to avoid overflow with a 32 bit depth display.

ediff obscures menu
14 years
Rodney Sparapani
Boy, what is with me and bugs lately? I'm seeing a similar behavior to
what is described at
http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2004-July/002126.html
The differences are that I have the default toolbar-visible-p=t and ...
(custom-set-variables
'(default-gutter-position (quote top))
'(default-toolbar-position (quote left)))
But, I do see something similar. Rather than the toolbar being
obscured (it's vertical on the left); I see nearly the entire menu
obscured: I can only see File and the rest are covered by the
tabs. If I select a tab that's not in ediff-mode, then the tabs
drop and I can see the entire menu. If I go back to ediff-mode,
then the tabs cover the menu once again. I'm running 21.4.22 with
ediff-version=2.81.2 Anybody see that before?

This bug is biting me almost daily now. I googled it and I see some
similarities with a previous bug report...
http://calypso.tux.org/pipermail/xemacs-beta/2006-July/009590.html
Does that help at all? If not, then I guess I have to bite the bullet
and move to xemacs-beta. Nothing similar is happening there, correct?
Thanks.
