So far so good, except: if I c-x c-f to load a file, hit tab, the completions frame opens up. However, after selecting the completion I want, the window minimizes itself, and stays minimized for subsequent calls to the special frame. With fluxbox, this means I can't see the window without selecting its icon from the toolbar, which is awkward with keyboard shortcuts, and basically requires me to use the mouse. This also affects help windows. For example, if I c-h v, then use completions to select the variable I want to see, and then exit the help window with q, I end up with a completions frame and a help frame, both minimized on the toolbar. They update themselves with subsequent calls to help or completions, but don't restore themselves to be visible when they do so. If I c-x k the special frame it dies nicely, and when it is up I can m-tab back and forth between the special buffer and the main emacs frame as I want to. How can I have this buffer either stay up or delete itself when I'm done with it? I'm running emacs21 on debian lenny with fluxbox. I've tried window-dedicated-p, without effect, but couldn't find any other variables that looked helpful. Thanks! Tyler
