Subject: Bug#433969: emacs22: using --no-bitmap-icon breaks --geometry and
other arguments
To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org>
Package: emacs22
Version: 22.1+1-1
Severity: normal
I prefer to have my emacs windows iconified to a simple string, rather than a
fancy bitmap, and so when I moved to emacs22 (back when it was packaged as
emacs-snapshot), I started to use the --no-bitmap-icon option to accomplish
this. In addition, my .xinitrc launches my emacs session with a few other
arguments that opens some windows and sets their geometry in a particular way
when I'm launching under X:
emacs --no-bitmap-icon --geometry 80x58-0+60 -l .emacs-X &
What I discovered was that the --no-bitmap-icon argument was treated
correctly, but the --geometry argument was ignored, and emacs behaved as if I
had asked it to edit a file named "80x58-0+60".
As a simpler test case, try this:
% emacs22 -q --geometry 30x30
# observe how the window is small, and look at the buffer list, then quit
# emacs.
% emacs22 --no-bitmap-icon -q --geometry 30x30
# observe how the window is default size, and now there is a buffer named
# "30x30" in the buffer list, as if argv were '--no-bitmap-icon -q 30x30'
# instead.
% emacs22 -q --geometry 30x30 --no-bitmap-icon
# behaves the same way, regardless of where --no-bitmap-icon is in argv[]
It seems that the --load argument is somehow affected too:
% echo '(find-file "/etc/hosts")' >foo.el
% emacs22 -q --load foo.el
# observe that there is a 'hosts' buffer as expected
% emacs22 -q --load foo.el --no-bitmap-icon
# instead of finding /etc/hosts, there is a 'foo.el' buffer, as if
# the command 'emacs22 -q --no-bitmap-icon foo.el' were run instead
Other value-taking argument seem to be similarly affected:
% emacs22 -q --foreground-color red
# starts normally, color is red
% emacs22 -q --foreground-color red --no-bitmap-icon
# color is default, but a buffer named 'red' is opened
My current hunch is that the --no-bitmap-icon argument causes any other
value-bearing argument to lose the argument name, leaving just the argument
value, which is then interpreted as a filename to be opened. Something in the
argv processing is getting clobbered.
cheers,
-Brian
