using CVS emacs, I use "emacs -daemon" and it executes the .emacs or
init fine. "--" or "-" both seem to work from a bash shell btw.

Are you sure there is no error in your .emacs? Did you run emacs -daemon
from the command line where you can see any error output?

Just to be sure - you dont expect emacs -c to run the .emacs?

                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I meant : "emacsclient -c"


And if Debian based Linux : And did you be sure to run "sudo update-alternatives --config" for emacs
and emacsclient?

Re: "emacs --daemon" does not load init file

Hi,

Yeah, when I run "emacs --daemon" in console it shows this error
message:

    error: Fontset `tty' does not exist

But if run "emacs" there is no such message. Note that my emacs is
emacs-gtk.

The font setting script in my .emacs is:

  ;; font setting
  (set-default-font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10")
  (set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
                    'chinese-gbk '("Microsfot Yahei-10" . "unicode-bmp"))

Is there anything wrong?

Best

As I've said in <87od03j3vf.fsf@thinkpad.tsdh.de> there's no initial
frame when starting emacs as daemon, so you cannot get frame parameters.
Maybe adding the code to `window-setup-hook' will work.  Or simply use
`M-x customize-face' for font settings.

Bye,

I changed the frame related settings to:

(add-hook 'window-setup-hook
         (lambda nil
            ;; font setting
            (set-default-font "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono-10")
            (set-fontset-font (frame-parameter nil 'font)
              'chinese-gbk '("Microsfot Yahei-10" . "unicode-bmp"))
            ;; window positioning
            (setq default-frame-alist '((top . 0) (left . 0) (width . 100) (height . 40)))
          )) 
Now emacs-daemon can startup without any error message:
  loading.....  
  loading.....
  loading.....
  starting emacs daemon....

But then I found emacsclient -c can not connect to emacs daemon, and "ps ax|grep emacs" returns nothing. That means emacs daemon failed to startup...  It's so wierd, and I don't know why...

Adding toolbar buttons

[Maindoor]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 236 bytes --]

I want to add toolbar buttons, I searched around and found
that it could be done using toolbar utils. Can anyone tell
where I can find 
toolbar-utils.el, edit-toolbar.el & xemacs-toolbar.el

? I am using kubuntu 8.04.

Thanks.

Looks like the functionality is there, but i cannot get it
to work like tool-bar-add-item. If someone has tried it
do let me know.

At least the second statement is only applicable when GNU Emacs runs  
in windowing environment. You should execute it, and maybe more, only  
when the window-system is not nil.

My init file is organised like this – and I can launch GNU Emacs  
23.0.60 as daemon.
