[I've discovered that I posted this patch ages ago but never committed it.]
Way back in April Giacomo Boffi reported that -unmapped was broken in 21.5.
This fixes it so once again no frame appears.
The problem was that the updated version of display-splash-screen called
pop-to-buffer, which mapped the frame. pop-to-buffer is moved to the
interactive function xemacs-splash-buffer instead.
lisp/ChangeLog addition:
2006-10-20 Malcolm Purvis <malcolmp(a)xemacs.org>
* startup.el (display-splash-screen): No longer bring buffer the
front. Fixes problems with -unmapped.
* startup.el (xemacs-splash-buffer): Pop splash buffer to the
front here instead.
Unfortunately, this patch broke starting a cygwin XEmacs started from
a cmd window. Here's how to reproduce the problem from Windows:
1. Build and install a cygwin version of XEmacs. In this example,
we'll assume it gets installed to /usr/local/bin/xemacs
2. bring up cmd (not a cygwin shell)
3. in that cmd window, type the following
run /usr/local/bin/xemacs
4. the XEmacs window will not appear on the screen or on the taskbar.
If you start gnuserv in your startup file, you can use gnuclient to
pop up a window.
Reverting your patch fixes this problem.
Do you have a Windows environment to test in? If you need help
testing a possible solution, I'm happy to provide my assistance.
