Hi,
why does
(set-fringe-mode '(1 . 0) )
give me a 4-pixel width of the left fringe, while
(set-fringe-mode 1 )
gives me the right width (1 pixel or so)?
thanks

I'm very new to emacs and I wonder how I can copy some text from my

This depends on the distribution you're using. We have put together a

how would one intercept handling of windowClosed events, that is, when

This would be on the OS X port (but a generic solution would do, too,

Why is the Dired buffer opened in a new frame? Is it because you're

Yes, some other customizations are used; it's an option the user has.
