I've found several things* that work using emacs "normally" but not when using emacsclient :( I get the impression (and it really is just that) that less testing is done with emacsclient than with the main emacs program. * For example only today I had the situation that emacsclient would always say "Entering debugger"=B4(and then hung) when I started it, even though /usr/bin/emacs worked just fine, without complaint. Eventually, clearing my .desktop fixed it. Just an example. --=20 Gary
