I just installed emacs21 after some goading from people who like to use fancier things than i like to use. The problem with a lot of fancy is that they cost a lot money. I run two emacs frames side by side, taking up my entire screen. I paid about $1200 for my monitor (one of the fancier things in my office). It's 1280 pixels wide. After a quick back-of-the envelope calculation, I think that these new fancy fringes are taking up a total of 52 pixels, which is costing me about $50 in screen real estate every time i run emacs. Being excessively penurious, I have to ask: How can I please turn off the fringes, but maybe turn them back on during gud mode? Thank you, Ali.
