Re: buffers tab does not appear
[Sorry for my current inactivity, especially on the syntax cache
issue. This time I do have a particularly good excuse for not giving
XEmacs my full atention of the last few months: I have only just
returned from my wedding in Holland and our honeymoon. :-). Please
tell me if my help is still needed, I'll try and squeeze in some time]
dnl We don't automatically trigger widgets if athena is present
dnl because of stability concerns.
dnl But if the user wants widgets, still offer him autodetections
case "$with_widgets" in
"yes" | "athena") detect_athena=yes ;;
*) detect_athena=no ;;
esac
Do you have any idea what the "stability concerns" were?
Jan? That looks like it's from your commit of 2002-01-09.
Although I wrote that comment, I was just documenting the then status quo.
IIRC it was turned off earlier, by you even, with the reason being that
1. athena tab widget in particular being not so robust
2. Loads of suspicous X warnings being generated
3. Continuing detection problems on Debian
you thought it was safer to accept a patch defaulting it to off when only
athena was present.
Maybe this situation has changed now.
What my change was that IF the user said --with-widgets=yes, but then
we should at least try and be helpfull and try and find athena for him.
Is this causing some problem? [sorry for not reading the thread but the account
that is subscribed to the mailing lists is megabytes behind]
