Subject: Bug? Won't eval an 'if' sexp?
Date: Sun, 26 Jan 2003 03:23:38 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200301260823.h0Q8NcHH016672@habitrail.home.fools-errant.com> (raw)

I added this to my .emacs under version 20.7:

(if (eq (user-uid) 0)
	(message "You're uid 0, no desktop")
	(lambda ()
	  (message "setting up desktop")
	  (custom-set-variables
	   '(desktop-enable t nil (desktop)))
	  (desktop-load-default)
	  (desktop-read)
	 )				
)


It worked just fine. Under 21.2 it's not evaluated correctly. Doing a eval lst 
sexp, it returns the lamda, I guess implying that it's not evaluating it?

[What I see in the *Message* buffer]

(lambda nil (message "setting up desktop") (custom-set-variables (quote 
(desktop-enable t nil ...))) (desktop-load-default) (desktop-read))

Anyone know what's up?
