Under the older version of Xemacs (20.3), I am able to set my CDE desktop session preferences so that Xemacs starts in a particular session "screen" in lieu of the "screen" selected at the time it pops up. In addition, the CDE home session preferences allow specifying the Xemacs window geometry. These settings are stored in the $HOME/user_name/.dt/sessions/home/dt.session file. Using Version 21.1.8, Xemacs does not honor the style manager's "home session" settings. Xemacs21 pops up in whatever "screen" the user has selected at the time the window activates. Please advise work-around or open bug for future fix. I have included my dt.session file for your review.
