/eric/ I am sure this is a FAQ (but I didn't see a FAQ list), but is
/eric/ there any command- line argument that stops Epoch from
/eric/ automatically popping itself up over other windows (I have
/eric/ forgotten what the precise X-terminology for that is). When
/eric/ I am running programs that put small windows over my Epoch
/eric/ window, it is really annoying to have epoch draw over my
/eric/ program, and then I have to iconfy or move Epoch out of the
/eric/ way to see my program. Most irritating. Don't tell me I
/eric/ have to recompile, I will be very unhappy. :-(. BTW, I am
/eric/ running OpenWindows on a Sparc-2.
From the FAQ (etc/EPOCH-FAQ):
C-3: How do I stop the windows from automatically raising upon entry?
The easiest way to do this, if you're running Epoch 4.0b0 or later, is
to specify the following in your .emacs file:
(setq auto-raise-screen 'minibuf)
If you're running a version of Epoch prior to Epoch 4.0b0, the
following code also works:
(setq auto-raise-screen nil)
(push (function (lambda () (raise-screen (minibuf-screen))))
*select-screen-hook*)
Both of the above solutions still make the minibuffer raise when an
Epoch edit window is entered; if you don't want the minibuffer to
raise itself either, just do the following instead:
(setq auto-raise-screen nil)
