offending code in src/device-x.c, in sanity_check_geometry_resource.
Somebody decided that (X)Emacs*geometry and (x)emacs*geometry are
evil and should be ignored, it seems. The function calls
warn_when_safe with an explanation, and then throws an error with
the string noted above. However, the error apparently convinces
XEmacs [1] to just print the error text on the terminal and exit.
We should either:
(1) Make sure that this error is not fatal; or
(2) Print the explanation on the terminal instead of calling
warn_when_safe.
I prefer (1). Does anybody know how to make this happen?
Does the code explain why the geometry setting is evil? Perhaps CVS
can track down the perp^H^H^H^Hcontributor who added the warning.
