That said, I notice the following change in behavior with respect to subprocesses launched from inside emacs that leads me to suspect that something has indeed changed, though looking at Changelog, all timer related changes are in xterm related code, and I'm seeing this on the console outside of X. Here is my best attempt at describing the situation; *warning* it's not going to be something simple that is easily reproducable -- I'm still trying to find a simple test case. Symptoms: Run processes like mplayer via start-process from inside emacs, e.g. playing an mp3 file --- output comes to a stop after a fixed length of time -- typically about a minute. Any form of kbd activity --- even the first key in a multi-key sequence -- gets things unwedged i.e. the mp3 stream continues to play. Another situation where I've noticed changed behavior is with emms (2.1) --- if you launch a playlist then playback stops after each track, and you again need to touch the keyboard for it to move to the next track. Again, in both cases, any keypress appears adequate to get things moving --- even partial keys e.g. C-x where C-x is a prefix key making up a key-sequence. -- Best Regards, --raman Email: raman@users.sf.net WWW: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/ AIM: emacspeak GTalk: tv.raman.tv@gmail.com PGP: http://emacspeak.sf.net/raman/raman-almaden.asc Google: tv+raman IRC: irc://irc.freenode.net/#emacs
