GTK build crashes under X

M-x man bolder default looking

One must have the cursor on top, or immediately after a word, for M-x man to give a nice default at the minibuffer prompt. It should be pepped up to look around more in the buffer for defaults, if the cursor is on whitespace. ___ emacs-pretest-bug mail

mail-mode doesn't encode Subject

apparent AIX 5.2 undump problem for 22.0.90 pretest

Emacs 22.0.90 pretest built under AIX 5.2 brings up an X window then exits. I did some debugging and it appears to be a problem with undump -- the state variables used internally by getloadavg() are being preserved, which causes the first call to getloadavg to malfunction and close the socket to t

Re: apparent AIX 5.2 undump problem for 22.0.90 pretest

2006-11-27 Thread Joe Buehler
The immediate problem can be worked around by building emacs as a user who has no access to /dev/kmem (normal users do not). This causes getloadavg to fail before emacs undumps, leaving state initialized properly for operation after the undump. However, there is probably a flaw in undump here that

Toggling buffer-local variables from Options menu on menu bar

If you toggle some buffer-local variables from the menu bar e.g case-fold-search, indicate-empty-lines then you change the default values and not the local ones. This is because they use menu-bar-make-toggle and means that if you are in a buffer where the local value has been set e.g Info, you se
