The reason why the Mac port doesn't support multi-tty with GUI (TTY-only multi-tty is supposed to work) is there's no way to detach Emacs as a GUI application from Window Server or Dock without terminating the GUI process, as far as I know. IIRC the W32 port doesn't support multi-tty with GUI. Maybe for simlar reason? One way to solve this cleanly is to seperate GUI process from Lisp process. It might be a future direction, but I don't think it's something I should do now for the port of Emacs 23. YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp
