Works for me. Thanks!
BTW, but I think related to this, I don't really understand the new
default for pop-up-frames. The doc-string says:
"If this is the symbol unset, the option was not set and is
ignored."
Sorry, but I think this is a bit of a cop-out. You can't really ignore a
boolean option - you either pop up a new frame or you don't; it all just
depends on how you handle "unset", and this introduces ambiguity in the
code. A quick grep shows me that pop-up-frames is either tested with
(if (memq pop-up-frames '(nil unset))
...
which means 'unset is actually handled as "not set", or it is simply
tested with
(if pop-up-frames
...
which means 'unset is handled as "set".
I would vote for setting the default to 'graphic-only.
(Maybe this is the wrong place to discuss this - please let me know if I
should file another bug-report or bring this to emacs-devel).
-David
