Hi there,

I was wondering whether anyone user/has used epoch on a Mac running macX?

I've been using emacs for about a year ( on a terminal ) and love it.  I
heard about epoch a few months ago and thought that sounded even better.
So a grabbed a copy, compiled it, and it did seem great.  The only 
problem is that the X `terminal' I use is a Mac running MacX, and epoch
doesn't run completely properly on that.


To elaborate with a bit of background ( sorry about crapping on so much ):

What macX lets you do is put up X windows in 2 modes: `rooted' or `rootless'
In the rootless form, which is a lot nicer to use, an X window sits on the
screen looking pretty much like any other mac window.  The window manager
that then controls everthing is built into MacX.

In the rooted form, the mac pops up a virtual root window, inside which X 
windows pop up ( the only nice thing about that is that you can then have a 
virtual screen as big as you like ).


The problem I have is that epoch won't run properly in the rootless form.
Everything pops up properly, but epoch then seems to hang, or more
precisely it seems to be getting snowed under by some sought of Xevent ( the
cursor flashes all over the place, and anything you type takes about a year
to appear ).  I haven't used xev to try and figure out what epoch's 
getting squashed with, but I'll try.  In the `rooted' mode, everthing 
works fine.

So anyway, does anyone know what might be going on? and how to fix it? Or
does anyone else use epoch with MacX?


It would be nice to use epoch in the rootless mode, as you can then things
like cut/paste directly out of/into X (ie epoch) windows to/from normal
mac windows, and the rooted form is really a pain in the arse.
