I'm not sure that you've followed the whole thread. I can never follow the whole of such a thread. I don't have time!
The feature of being able to display help messages and GUD variable values in the echo area has *not* been removed. On the other hand, the variable tooltip-use-echo-area has been made obsolete because it involves an ugly hack that intertwines the code in tooltip.el and gud.el. I must be confused. If that feature exists, doesn't tooltip-use-echo-area control whether to enable it? _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
