If you have only X frames running, it is normal that XEmacs will exit -- as you say it yourself, that's how X handles killing. I have now tried my patch with multiple X connections and the result is, well, bogus. Still, I believe my patch should be applied because it at least attempts to bring some order to the situation, and makes things work with the TTY consoles. Yuck! Is there a way around that? -- Hrvoje Niksic <hniksic(a)srce.hr&gt; | Student at FER Zagreb, Croatia --------------------------------+-------------------------------- A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep.
