Hi, I read small bits of sr-speedbar a little while ago. As far as I know, it uses the same techniques that ECB uses, by advising various windowing functions in order to keep the speedbar window safe. It also uses a bunch of speedbar's hooks. A while ago (June?) there were lots of discussions on emacs-devel on how to make ECB work without advice in Emacs. I would imagine that the simpler sr-speedbar would benefit from the same kind of thing. I lost track of the ECB discussion though, so I don't know what sorts of changes were made for it. I can read some more of sr-speedbar if a more detailed opinion is needed. Eric -- Eric Ludlam: eric@siege-engine.com Siege: www.siege-engine.com Emacs: http://cedet.sourceforge.net
