Subject: Please precede all environmental variables with EMACS_
Date: Mon, 07 Jan 2008 10:30:23 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4781F12F.4010804@gmail.com> (raw)

Help! Some megalomanic software has stolen the DISPLAY environmental 
variable so Emacs/Emacs client will not work.

Could please environmental variables specific to Emacs be changed to 
begin with EMACS_ ? For example change DISPLAY to EMACS_DISPLAY.

In my case I have

   DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

Emacs does not recognize that value. Should Emacs recognize it or should 
Emacs use its own variable, named like EMACS_DISPLAY?

FYI, the value of the environmental variable DISPLAY is used by 
Emacs/Emacs client in 23.0.50.1. Emacs does not recognize the value above.
