This fixes the gnuserv problems. The basic problem was that the console the buffer was being displayed on, wasn't selected at the time the gutter got updated. Selecting it fixes the problem but I hope this isn't controversial. I will apply this to cvs. andy 1999-09-18 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org&gt; * gnuserv.el (gnuserv-edit-files): select frame we are going to display on. * subr.el (record-buffer-hook): new variable so that the hook gets some documentation. 1999-09-16 Andy Piper <andy(a)xemacs.org&gt; * gutter-items.el (update-tab-in-gutter): only update when the gutter is visible. (remove-buffer-from-gutter-tab): ditto. -------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Andy Piper Senior Consultant Architect, BEA Systems Ltd
