This patch will at least keep us from crashing at startup. The progress bar appears to work as well as it ever did now. I am committing this right now. 2002-03-21 William M. Perry <wmperry(a)gnu.org&gt; * event-gtk.c (emacs_gtk_force_event_pending): Bogus definition that does nothing right now. (reinit_vars_of_event_gtk): Register a force_event_pending handler. This seems to cure the crashes at startup caused by the progress bar. -bp -- Ceterum censeo vi esse delendam
