(The new= one is called "Version: 24.3+1-2+b1".) I haven't made any changes to my ~= /.emacs and everything works, except that emacs24 is noticeably slower than= emacs23, sometimes painfully so. Most of the slowness is tolerable, but one issue is painful. When I'm usin= g emacs24 on "X over SSH" and start to select portion of text (region) by p= ressing Ctrl-Space, the cursor movement becomes extremely slow, that is, it= takes a lot of time to select a region. Are there some settings to adjust to fix this problem? I run emacs on an D= ebian server and my local machine is a Mac OS X machine running Xquartz. In passing, I notice most new Linux applications aren't usable on X over SS= H because they tend to use GUI decorations too much. Traditional ones like= emacs, xdvi, xpdf, xterm, etc., happily run on X over SSH, but they are mi= nority. If emacs becomes unusable, I'll probably have to stop X over SSH a= nd perhaps rely on a cloud-shared directory (like Dropbox) or use tramp on = local emacs. Cheers, Ryo
