Re: running emacs inside vmware

[Jim Newton <jimka.velizy@googlemail.com>]

Hi Raj, thanks for the advise.  Yes it happens even in full-screen
mode.  

In the mean-time, i've tracked down more information.
When I press shift-alt-% for query replace, emacs still thinks
the alt is pressed, thus if I type 'p', (because I want to replace p with something), emacs hears alt-p, do display the previous query-replace
target.  :-(

This could also be a citrix issue.  It is the type of bug which citrix
has from time to time.
