crash only in a Xsession. Work in the tty. 23 years

Renaud Dans

Hi. Since my last "apt-get dist-upgrade", I cannot start xemacs in X anymore but well in the console. I did search in the news and in the Debian Emacsen mail archive but I have found a information that could help me. I'am not a programmer so I do hope this message is not annoying. ＠cassiopee, ~->: xemacs Fatal error (11). Your files have been auto-saved. Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them. If you have access to the PROBLEMS file that came with your version of XEmacs, please check to see if your crash is described there, as there may be a workaround available. I did check that but I did not find anything that could apparently help me. Otherwise, please report this bug by running the send-pr script included with XEmacs, or selecting `Send Bug Report' from the help menu. send-pr: the GNATS site xemacs.org does not have a categories list.

[PATCH] 21.5 - generic toolbar support for X11... 23 years

William M. Perry

This patch is for XEmacs 21.5. I have checked in the generic toolbar code, and this patch makes X11 use it as well. I think this would be the ideal place to make changes to the toolbar code for automatically captioning items, etc. I'll leave that until after the GTK bugs are fixed and more code is shared between X11 and GTK though. :) Here is a screenshot of what the toolbar looks like - should be identical to the 'real' X11 toolbars, as only the direct x_foo_bar() calls have been replaced with calls to the generic redisplay methods. I will leave it up to someone else to actually commit this. I am not getting any mail messages from xemacs-review, so am trying to figure that out before checking anything else in. :) -bp -- Ceterum censeo vi esse delendam

Re: VETO: Re: [PATCH] [PACKAGES] Info / uniquify problems cleaned up 23 years

Nix

[moved to xemacs-beta; this is not a patch anymore]] On 27 Dec 2001, Adrian Aichner moaned: > this veto is only against the ChangeLog entry. *boggle* > Please reformat it to become compliant with > (xemacs)Change Log A point of policy: many other projects accept multiline changelog headers to indicate multiperson authorship. For instance (from GCC): 2001-08-13 Roman Zippel <zippel(a)linux-m68k.org> Richard Henderson <rth(a)redhat.com> * regmove.c (regmove_optimize): Avoid setting a register twice in a parallel set. So this is a divergence from GNU ;) IMHO, this is the only fair way to indicate true multiperson authorship of a patch. In this case, I could probably rephrase it as 2001-12-26 Nix <nix(a)esperi.demon.co.uk> * uniquify.el (uniquify-ignore-buffers-query-functions): New hook, called to determine buffers not to uniquify. (Thanks to Volker Franz <volker.franz(a)tuebingen.mpg.de> (uniquify-rationalize-file-buffer-names): Use it... (uniquify-ignore-buffers-re): ... reimplement in terms of it. New function. (uniquify-ignore-buffers-mode-re): New variable and function. but if Volker had changed most of the patch, this could get extremely ugly. > The header should be a single line: >> A change log entry starts with a header line that contains your name >> and the current date. Except for these header lines, every line in the >> change log starts with a tab. One entry can describe several changes; >> each change starts with a line starting with a tab and a star. `M-x What is the rationale for this? The GNU coding standards carefully avoid describing the precise format of a changelog entry (and, in fact, even this ext doesn't describe things like the format of date to be used, and several different formats are in use.) -- `Mmm... Maybe I just like strong women that can hurt me?' --- Vadik, on female throat-cutting doctors
