I used to use (setq default-indicate-empty-lines t) A few days ago I got the message Compiling file /home/jidanni/.emacs ... .emacs:436:7:Warning: `default-indicate-empty-lines' is an obsolete variable (as of Emacs 23.2); use `indicate-empty-lines' instead. (I wonder how what people who don't compile their .emacs file will get that news.) So I changed it to (setq indicate-empty-lines t) Then after a few days I started wondering where the indicators went. So one needs to change it to (setq-default indicate-empty-lines t) surprize surprize :-(
