In case this is a bug in Emacs:

Subject: Emacs X problem
Keywords: 


When I try running GNU emacs under X windows and define the display
environment so it pops up its own window instead of running inside
the xterm window, I have problems with my .emacs file.  I get
the message

	Key sequence ^C^M uses invalid prefix characters

and a scratch buffer instead of the file I wanted to edit.

This is my .emacs file (which works fine on other emacs distributions):

	(defun my-exit () (interactive) (save-buffer) (kill-emacs))
	(defun my-read-only () (interactive) (setq buffer-read-only t))
	(defvar sun-esc-bracket t)
	(global-set-key "\C-c" 'kill-emacs)
	(global-set-key "\C-t" 'search-forward)
	(global-set-key "\C-z" 'my-exit)
	(global-set-key "\e " 'set-mark-command)
	(global-set-key "\e+" 'edt-emulation-on)
	(global-set-key "\e-" 'my-read-only)
	(setq auto-save-default nil)
	(setq case-fold-search nil)
	(setq make-backup-files nil)
	(setq require-final-newline t)
	(setq tab-width 8)

From my reading of the docs, this seems to be related to the mouse code
for emacs under X.  What am I doing wrong?
