[crash] GPM & a signalling loop? 27 years, 1 month

Karl M. Hegbloom

GPM was not running. I suspended and `fg'd a couple times. When I realized that gpm wasn't running, I tried to exit XEmacs. There's been a weird problem where when I go to exit, it says "loading hide copyleft", then just sits there. I have to push `C-g', then `C-x C-c' agian to make it exit. (With -vanilla that doesn't happen.) I've not spent the time to track this down yet. This time, when I pushed the second C-x C-c, XEmacs crashed. Fatal error (6). Your files have been auto-saved.

How about > `site-options.el'? And we need to extent the custom system to handle that, it is not that difficult once decide about the semantics of the various reset operations[1]. I made patches for this once when it was still beta but it it was rejected then because 1. Per was in an informal feature freeze because FSF 20.x was in pretest. 2. People prefered an even more general themes implementations and nobody really implemented it (it wouldn't be more difficult for the most part) it is just that the making sure the interface is consistentent is even harder. The good thing is that finally you can have as part of the official install procedure n. make install n+1. make site-customs (which does customize-group "site") so that sysadmins that are not Emacs users don't forget to set things like mail-host-adress etc correctly Jan [1] Basically you would have to have "reset to site setting" options. The difficulty lies in making sure the user gets the settings he wants even if the default or the site settings change. This leads to a new custom-set-values-to-site-settings thing.
