andy, your latest changes seem to have broken tab widgets again. in many cases, they no longer follow the buffers. i have seen all sorts of weirdness, but one very easy problem to reproduce is to load two buffers and switch between them using the buffers menu or M-C-l. -- Ben In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your understanding. See also http://www.666.com/ben/chronic-pain/
