I am using Epoch 4.2, but I am using the version of "time.el" from GNU Emacs 18.55 (?) that relies on the old "loadst" program. (I don't know if my problem occurs when one uses the current version of "time.el". If it doesn't, I'd like to know.) I have noticed that when Epoch is sitting idle (i.e., I'm not typing at it and not changing X screen focus), only the selected window's modeline is updated to display the correct time. Actually, the behavior appears to be slightly more complicated: When sitting idle, the selected window's modeline tracks the current time and all of the other modelines are always one update behind! As soon as Epoch receives some event (even just gaining or losing the X keyboard focus), then all of the window modelines suddenly update to display the correct time. Yes, yes, such a minor bug. Maybe that means that it's easily fixed :-). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Eide | University of Utah Department of Computer Science eeide@cs.utah.edu | Buddhist to hot dog vendor: "Make me one with everything."
