That would be inacurate. If you type SPC, then the SPC is actually processed (either by opening the group at point for "emacs -f gnus", or inserted in the file for "emacs foo.c bar.c"). I guess it should say "C-l" instead of SPC, which is what (someone pointed out) the existing message

I think it would be good if there was some obvious indicator on the splash screen that would make the true state of affairs obvious. That seems like a good idea. For instance, what about a line following the big logo picture like: Files to be visited: foo.c bar.c The files

There is a switch -no-splash to inhibit the splash screen if that is what you want to do. Does that resolve the problem? ___ Emacs-pretest-bug mailing list Emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug

Why not use the splash screen as a "screen saver", i.e. if emacs has been idle for N seconds, show the splash screen (of course, people should have a chance to turn this off). Would people like that? I think it would be very annoying? ___

A few weeks ago, starting "emacs -f gnus" was opening Emacs with Gnus directly open. What version of Emacs sources were you using then? I don't think any change has been made in this recently, but there was a change a year or two ago to display the splash screen even if the user specifies

Hi, A few weeks ago, starting "emacs -f gnus" was opening Emacs with Gnus directly open. Now, I have Emacs's splashscreen instead of Gnus, and Gnus comes back when I press any key. I've added this to my .emacs.el, but I prefered the old behavior: (setq inhibit-startup-message t) In GNU Emacs 2
