It's a shell script: #!/bin/bash # Possible values are nox, gtk, or x11 : ${EMACS_TOOLKIT:=gtk} exec -a ${0} ${0}-${EMACS_TOOLKIT} ${1+"$@"} I have not set the environment variable EMACS_TOOLKIT, so emacs-gtk is called. Now I've tried emacs-x11: there is no such problem, so it seems to be the gtk-layer. Here the details: file `which emacs-gtk`: /usr/bin/emacs-gtk: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped file `which emacs-x11`: the same emacs-gtk -Q -g 20x20+500+500 -> +500+500 ignored emacs-x11 -Q -g 20x20+500+500 -> no problem Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
