Sorry for the delay in posting a reply. In emacs, you can use the file menu to create a new frame (window).
You then need to enter elisp commands to invoke these functions. An elisp command can be entered interactively by pressing Alt-: First, create a frame using the file menu. Then capture one frame with Alt-: (setq f (selected-frame)) Move the mouse into the other window and bring it to the front. The frame commands are (raise-frame f) (iconify-frame f) (decionify-frame f) (make-frame-visible f) Jon TURNEY wrote: > > On 14/07/2011 15:10, Gulliver.M.Smith wrote: >> A web search shows that this has been asked before, but I thought I'd put >> it >> out there again. >> >> When using Cygwin X in multi-window mode (i.e. with each X window being >> its >> own MS Windows window), the window manager ignores the window manager >> requests from Emacs and XEmacs to raise and lower windows, minimize and >> reopen windows (frames in Emacs talk). > > I'm afraid that the multiwindow window manager has never fully implemented > EWMH and ICCCM standards, support has been added ad hoc as needed, so > that is > probably why this doesn't work. > >> These would be nice to have ... > > I've no idea how to make emacs generate these window manager requests, so > you > can help by describing that. > > -- > Jon TURNEY > Volunteer Cygwin/X X Server maintainer > > -- > Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple > Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html > Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ > FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/ > > > -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/%28X%29Emacs-Window-Manager-commands-tp32061544p32279516.html Sent from the cygwin-xfree mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
