APPROVE COMMIT NOTE: This patch has been committed. I’ve noticed this for a few years; it was a comp.emacs.xemacs posting that prompted me to look into it more closely. Unfortunately, when resuming a gnuclient TTY frame, you still need to press C-c to get it to redisplay. lisp/ChangeLog addition: 2006-08-07 Aidan Kehoe <kehoea(a)parhasard.net&gt; * frame.el (suspend-or-iconify-emacs): * frame.el (suspend-emacs-or-iconify-frame): Elaborate on what the functions do, hopefully preventing misunderstandings in the future. * keydefs.el (global-tty-map): "\C-z" is suspend-or-iconify-emacs on the TTY, not suspend-emacs. Fixes problems that arose where pressing C-z in a gnuclient fram suspended the whole process.
