Re: [Bug: 21.5-b12] Geometry not respected when switching escreens

Jan> I'm using escreen.el Stephen> URL, please. It doesn't seem to be in any XEmacs package. Ooops, sorry, you're right. Here it is: http://www.splode.com/~friedman/software/emacs-lisp/src/escreen.el BTW, it's a marvellously useful piece of code, perhaps worth integrating as a package. Not very actively developed, but works just fine. My init.el also does: (require 'escreen) (escreen-install) (mapcar (lambda (l) (escreen-create-screen)) "123456789") (escreen-goto-screen 1) Jan> This behavior was not present in XEmacs 21.5-b6, which I have used Jan> until now. Stephen> Geometry management used to be done in C, but as of 21.5.10 or Stephen> 21.5.11 it was moved to Lisp and "rationalized." This is Stephen> probably a side-effect. Stephen> You should note that use of resources, command-line options, Stephen> and Lisp to handle frame geometry has had rather different Stephen> effects until now. We hope that the change to Lisp will Stephen> improve the situation, but there will be a shakedown period. You mean I should just write the resizing code in Lisp and it'll work better? Hmm. thanks, --J.
