JB> If you use xdm without auto-login it explains why you can not reproduce it.
Ah, because we've already typed our passwd etc. JB> Please check if you are affected by JB> http://bugs.freedesktop... Perhaps. All I know is I use Debian sid/experimental. Anyway, indeed my sleep 11 works as by that time I've already typed some characters. Confirmed! (One thing the user should not try is hitting Caps Lock before my 11 seconds are up to try and test things. I got myself stuck in CAPS LOCK mode, and needed to plug in a USB keyboard to save myself from a cold reboot, as there is no /bin/STTY command, only stty, and I had not used getty -U!.) P.S., I have this in a Makefile I call with emacs M-x compile, h:some_file emacsclient -n --eval '(kill-buffer "Makefile")' cd /tmp && nohup > .nohup$$$$emacs emacsclient -n +99999 $?& sleep 2 #else left looking at *compilation* buffer if emacs started from .xsession But it usually doesn't work. I still need to hit ^G anyway -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
