John> I welcome any additional suggestions as to how to debug. You'll have to fall back to copying your init file to a safe place and deleting parts of it until the bug stops happening, and eventually finding a minimal recipe. Alternatively, you could try updating and hope that fixes the problem, as the window configuration code was known buggy and has had important changes in more recent versions. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
