Martin,
I have been using BBDB in its own frame with good results as I said.
However, I find that starting up emacs has now become a groaningly
slow process. Part of the problem, if I understand properly, is that
when I start up the bbdb frame, the form that you have been using:
(let ((bbdb-electric-p nil)
(special-display-frame-alist '((name . "BBDB")
(unsplittable . t)
(menu-bar-lines . 0)
(left . -155)
(top . 0)
(width . 55)
(height . 10))))
(bbdb "." nil))
demands that the BBDB format my entire database into the bbdb frame.
This seems to take my emacs process forever. (I sit for a long time
with "formatting"). I was thinking of replacing this with something
that either will display nothing or that will display a canonical
record. Just thought I would check to make sure there's not a good
reason for the "." regexp above that I didn't think of.
CC'ed this to the list, as I think it's of general interest.
Cheers,
R
