gnus makes emacs lose response
Dear all, If I am using gnus and disconnect the network cable, after a while emacs will lose response. C-g won't work. I have to `killall emacs'. I think this is due to demon trying to fetch news/emails. My setting of demon in gnus: --8<---cut here---start->8--- ;; fetch email while idle (gnus-demon-add-handler 'gnus-group-get-new-news 3 t) (gnus-demon-init) --8<---cut here---end--->8--- Regards, -- Leon ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug

Picture mode does not provide any hook on exit
I suggest adding a hook "picture-mode-exit-hook" which is run in picture-mode-exit. Here's why: Normally, activating a major mode calls kill-all-local-variables which runs change-major-mode-hook. Picture-mode does not do this, which makes sense because picture-mode is used as a temporary major mode. I use it all the time to draw pictures in my code comments. I have written a minor mode that is incompatible with picture mode (both my mode and picture-mode try to remap self-insert-command). Normally, I would disable my minor mode by putting a null keymap into minor-mode-overriding-map-alist, which would get killed when the major mode changed. But since picture-mode does not call kill-all-local-variables, this keymap does not get removed until I expcitily re-enter the old major mode. Adding an exit hook would allow me to remove the null keymap from minor-mode-overriding-map-alist, without disturbing any other local variables. -- MJF In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.13) of 2006-03-23 on pacem, modified by Debian X server distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.6090 configured using `configure '--build' 'i486-linux-gnu' '--host' 'i486-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--sharedstatedir=/var/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/lib' '--localstatedir=/var' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--with-pop=yes' '--enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs-snapshot:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/22.0.50/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/leim' '--with-x=yes' '--with-x-toolkit=gtk' 'CFLAGS=-DDEBIAN -g -O2 -Wno-pointer-sign' 'build_alias=i486-linux-gnu' 'host_alias=i486-linux-gnu'' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: nil value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: nil locale-coding-system: nil default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Major mode: Emacs-Lisp Minor modes in effect: eldoc-mode: t global-balanced-mode: t balanced-mode: t hrule-mode: t cua-mode: t global-reveal-mode: t reveal-mode: t global-hi-lock-mode: t hi-lock-mode: t show-paren-mode: t tooltip-mode: t auto-compression-mode: t mouse-wheel-mode: t menu-bar-mode: t file-name-shadow-mode: t global-font-lock-mode: t font-lock-mode: t blink-cursor-mode: t unify-8859-on-encoding-mode: t utf-translate-cjk-mode: t column-number-mode: t line-number-mode: t transient-mark-mode: t Recent input: ( d e f u n SPC b a l a n c e d - e n a b l e - b a l a n c e d - m o d e SPC ( ) " H o o k SPC f u n c t i o n r e p o r t SPC e m Recent messages: Balanced mode disabled Undo!

You want my suggestion to be implemented, in other words... :) Look: I propose the following or similar addition to filecache.el. The reason is that adding remote directories is a time-consuming operation, and for directories that seldom change, there is no point in creating the file cache each time Emacs is restarted. ;;; Code begins here (defun file-cache-save-cache-to-file (file) "Save contents of `file-cache-alist' to FILE.

Does this happen with _any_ Makefile, or just with some? I tried the top-level Makefile.in from the CVS---can you try that and see if it fails with the same error message? It doesn't fail for me. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
