Unfortunatly Peter Chubb has pointed out that the `fix' I posted is not quite as good as it first looks. Moving the virtual desktop messes up the minibuffer position again. The problem seems to be that screen-information returns the geometry of the screen with respect to the display rather than, as one would expect, with respect to the (virtual) root. I assume that this is due to the same problem (confusing root with virtual root) manifesting itself in the depths of epoch. Unfortunatly I am not familiar enough with the internals of epoch to be able to have a shot at fixing this. I do have code to find the virtual root (written by Tom LaStrange) so if anyone wants to try their hand I can give them that. -- rjc@cstr.ed.ac.uk _O_ |<
