gtk-based Emacs 22 as distributed with openSUSE 10.3 and kde

[Jurzitza, Dieter]

Dear listmembers,
when running a recent gnu-emacs on SUSE (i. e. 22.X) it refuses to keep the "iconic" attribute.

Verification:

run emacs --iconic

emacs starts iconified in the kde-taskbar. Now, save your desktop configuration, log out and log in again. Emacs will be started - what is expected - but pop up full screen - what is not expected.

This did not happen with the athena(?)widgets based emacsen 21.X before.

I readily placed this bug at opensuse, it has been confirmed. The maintainer recommended to place it here, too. It is _not_ opensuse related but seems to be related to the --with-x-toolkit=gtk option.

Thank you very much for creating & maintaining emacs and thank you for looking into this! If I should provide more data / information please let me know.

Take care




Dieter Jurzitza

What does the step "save your desktop configuration" mean exactly?
Are you running a KDE or GNOME desktop environment?
AFAIK saves KDE the states of opened/iconic windows and tells via kwm
the application to be opened/iconic when it is started the next time.

In your case emacs would start iconic, but than the KDE window manager
would tell emacs to show up.

Could that happen in your setting?

Did you try this in your current environment or within an older SuSE?
