No. When I first did this, my database was (and still is) quite
small, and "." was the first thing I thought of which would make the
BBDB frame come up with no chance of an error. I guess you could
avoid using any of the BBDB stuff altogether to get the frame to
appear, by doing something like:
(with-output-to-temp-buffer bbdb-buffer-name "")
This will produce an empty buffer. It seems to work... although I
wouldn't guarantee it. The above method also avoids the need to set
bbdb-electric-p to nil...
Hmmm... might change my startup...
peace & happiness,
martin
