Maybe once every month or two, I'll find it disappeared and a core file sitting in my home directory. Also sometimes Emacs gets into weird states with font-lock and indentation in my code (mostly C++) and I need to restart it to clear it up. Other than that I never restart it unless I need to reboot my system. But I have an interesting use-case: * I run emacs --daemon as part of my login process. * I run a GNOME desktop and use the GTK-enabled Emacs. * At work I create X window frames using emacsclient. * When at home I ssh to my work system in a (big) xterm and use emacsclient to attach to the daemon and create text frames, rather than sending X remotely (our VPN is not super-speedy and I type pretty fast :)). I have a feeling that using both X and non-X frames in the same Emacs is not as well-tested and may have corner-case issues.
