Not that it helps you exactly, but that's actually a bit less broken than I thought. Please note, there are several known issues in this area on macosx and other platforms owing to some recent changes to defaults. see e.g. #6677 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6677 See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-07/msg01314.html http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6720#20 for instructions on reverting the new behaviour for now if you want to. I will be looking at the area over this weekend, anyway, on x11/w32/ns.
