I won't be moving to lucid, because they made the unfortunate choice of switching from C to a different source language. I've tried emacs 19 but haven't switched to it yet, partly because I haven't been able to build it for all the machines I use, but partly because of this list of gripes. I'm providing this mostly as information for people considering a switch from epoch to emacs 19, but if you know the answers to any of these, I'd like to hear it. cursor warps (and focus shifts) to Completions window, have to manually move it back to the minibuf each time. get a new Completions frame each time (investigate frame-pop package?) Completions frame says "Click mouse-2 on a completion to select it," but that's a lie. Mouse 2 pastes like anywhere else. how to suppress initial *scratch* frame? minibuf autoraise doesn't work (wm bug?) how to control minibuf geometry depending on display size? cursor is opaque sometimes better frame placement would be nice. dragging mouse 1 shouldn't move point pasting from X is really strange! funny delays. running gnuclient yields "cannot switch buffers in minibuf" if there are no frames visible. Or, if there are, it switches buffers in one of the visible frames, leaving you with no view of whatever was in that frame before. gnuclient doesn't return until emacs exits.
