I'm sorry but I can't do that right now (I've got a thesis to
finish), perhaps in few weeks or so.
Some new information, though:
If I try to run my dumped "kala" executable with -nw argument (I
have DISPLAY set so the failed invocation described above should
have opened an X window), it starts. It doesn't do anything like
read my init file or the system wide init file (perhaps this is a
feature?), but I get a *scratch* buffer, minibuffer displays "Back
to top level." and I can evaluate stuff, open files, etc. Also, it
does not seem to process all command line arguments. At least
-eval and -batch have no effect whatsoever.
FWIW, I verified that I get the same behaviour also with 21.2 in
Debian GNU/Linux x86 stable.
