Untrue. Mouse 2 selects a completion.
I'll be generous here and assume that what you mean is it works for you. So
the interesting question is why it works for you but not for me. I haven't
really investigated this yet.
Jim> how to suppress initial *scratch* frame?
Try this:
I did, and I still get a *scratch* frame when I start emacs. In case it
isn't clear, what I want is the equivalent of inhibit-initial-screen-mapping.
Jim> minibuf autoraise doesn't work (wm bug?)
Works for me with olvwm 3.3.
I have verified that this is a problem with my window manager.
Jim> cursor is opaque sometimes
That means that frame has the focus... :-) What do you really mean ?
I'd like to get normal X behavior. If the frame has the focus, I should
have a reverse video block cursor. If it doesn't, I should have a box
cursor. I should never have an opaque black cursor, and that's what I get
sometimes. It's not consistent, and I don't know how to reproduce it.
Jim> better frame placement would be nice.
Better, how ?
Regular frames should never obscure the minibuf frame. This isn't a killer,
just a wishlist item.
Jim> dragging mouse 1 shouldn't move point
You mean you want secondary selections, rather than primaries ?
I want the same thing epoch gives me, whatever that's called. Dragging
mouse 1 should leave point unchanged, set and move the mark, and hilight the
region and copy it to the X cut buffer (or whatever they're calling it this
week). I know I can do this, I just haven't figured out how yet.
Jim> pasting from X is really strange! funny delays.
Untrue.
Again, I'll assume that what you mean is that it works for you.
Jim> gnuclient doesn't return until emacs exits.
Untrue. C-x # makes it return as usual.
I want it to return when I delete the frame.
