Sunrise Commander: X11 refresh issue?

Sunrise Commander: X11 refresh issue?

[Eric Brown]

Hi All,

I am using Sunrise Commander (v. 5.420) in an X11 (vanilla) window,
across Hummingbird Exceed, through Citrix. In all other modes, things
are fine, but when the package is loaded, then the screen flickers like
it is re-drawing. (Also, it seems like Gnus has a similar issue when
advancing quickly through the message list, but it is tolerable)

In order (to try) to solve this problem, I unloaded all the other ELPA
packages (e.g. sunrise-x-buttons) but it still flickers.

I don't want to blame Emacs for causing this problem, but I think it's
the only thing in my setup that I am able to modify.  Has anyone seen
this problem before?

Thanks,
Eric

Hello Eric,

Does setting the value of the `sr-windows-locked' custom variable to
nil help?

Hi José,

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to fix the problem. Also, perhaps I
unfairly blamed SC for this issue -- it's probably generalizable to
Emacs and X11.

Thanks,
Eric

Hmm, OK, does the problem persist even when running emacs with the -Q
option?

It doesn't flicker with -Q.  I think that basic emacs troubleshooting
could have solved my problem.  I should be able to restore the settings
in .emacs slowly and figure out the actual problem.

Sunrise Commander is great stuff!  Thanks a million, and

Thanks for your help,
Eric
