Message-ID: <1adb6ea1002251628p77f28902nfe1fe77b654119de@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

FYI I've found a workaround for this old problem: I evaluate
'(abort-recursive-edit)' with gnuclient / emacsclient. Tested on emacs
23.1.1 and 22.1.1 (both of which still exhibit the
minibuffer-input-blocks-other-Xdisplay problem). This aborts the
minibuffer prompt, and lets me use emacs on the other display.
This is good enough for me.
Regards,
Ovy
