emacs and window placement

emacs and window placement

[henry atting]

Not specifically an emacs problem but a problem that occurs with emacs
solely as far as I see:
Running gnome/compiz I want to start emacs on viewport one. I tried it
with devilspie and the window placement plugin from compiz. Wheras any
other program starts on its assigned viewport emacs does not -- or more
exactly it starts on its viewport but then switches automatically to the
one which is opened.

As emacs is the only program that behaves this way maybe I can get here
a hint thereto.

hello all!I'm trying to bind f6 key to toggle 'pop-up-frames' variable by
insert following line in my .emacs file:

(global-set-key [f6] (lambda () (setq pop-up-frames (not pop-up-frames)))

and after restart emacs and press f6, emacs says "Wrong type argument:
commandp, (lambda nil (setq pop-up-frames (not pop-up-frames)))"

please give me some help, thanks!

What you bind to a key must be a command. For a function to be a command, it
must have an `interactive' spec. So you need this:

 (global-set-key [f6]
   (lambda () (interactive) (setq pop-up-frames (not pop-up-frames)))

See the Elisp manual, node `Defining Commands'.
