hi, latest cvs for 21.2, (well yesterday...) i found a menu item i never noticed and decided to give it a try: on the File menu: 'Frame on other display' tried it first with rock:0 (my machine name) and it crashed. it actually always craches with that value. localhost:0 works however. i'm using linux latest unstable debian. Lisp backtrace follows: # bind (frame-being-created) make-frame(nil #<x-device on "rock:0.0" 0x30c7>) # bind (props connection type) make-frame-on-device(x "rock:0" nil) # bind (props display) make-frame-on-display("rock:0") # bind (command-debug-status) call-interactively(make-frame-on-display) # (condition-case ... . error) # (catch top-level ...)
