Emacs, gnome3 and synctex woes

Emacs, gnome3 and synctex woes

[paaguti]

HI,

this is my first message to the group. I'm a more or less experienced Emacs user (15 years of emacsing on by back ;-) ). Same goes for Linux (maybe 10 years, 4 distros). I have settled down with the latest Ubuntu to write my PhD thesis. Some time ago, I found and modified a Python script on the Web to connect evince, synctex and emacs. I worked nicely with Gnome 2.4 and when I clicked on a point in my pdf, I was able to go back to the LaTEX source and edit it woth emacs. When evince was in full-screen mode, emacs popped up over it.

Now, with gnome3, this doesn't happen anymore. Is there any new function in emacs to raise the window to the front when in GNOME 3?

Thanks,/PA

Are you using AUCTeX for editing your LaTeX files?  If so, what version?

The current AUCTeX CVS version has built-in support for forward/backward
search with Evince via DBUS.  I use it daily, and it works fine.  You
might want to give it a try and drop the python-scripted solution.

Bye,
