windows broken in "gnuclient -nw"

- What happened. i started xemacs as usual, office% DISPLAY=:0 xemacs -f gnuserv-start& then i got home without closing xemacs, so that, at home, i did home% ssh me＠office office% gnuclient -nw with the intention of using VM to read my mail, but i found that all the window management breakage in ttys that was recently fixed showed again... you know, all the "no window to the side of this window" stuff, the windows that are resized smaller and smaller, the cursor that lands outside of managed windows... NB windows' management in a emacs frame works fine (uh, not quite) when i start xemacs from a tty, the mess represented itself _only_ when i attached, using a tty, to a gnuserv connected to a xemacs process running under X the "uh, not quite" refers of course to VM, that, for me, is jumpy and unpleasant to use (screen redraws, glitches, anything bad) also when used in X --- i suppose that VM does much more, or just does different, than other packages when it comes to moving windows around, exposing glitches in current windows code ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux boffi95 2.2.21 #1 Wed Jul 17 12:52:48 CEST 2002 i586 unknown unknown GNU/Linux ./configure '--extra-verbose' '--rel-alloc' '--with-widgets' '--with-athena=3d' '--debug' '--pdump' '--with-wmcommand' '--with-sound=no' '--error-checking=all' XEmacs 21.5-b11 "cabbage" (+CVS-20030310) configured for `i586-pc-linux'.
