I take back my words, I did a cvs update (now) and built emacs from scratch (bootstrap). The resulting emacsclientw does not start emacs if it is not running! I remember a quote by a fellow developer long back when a nice feature that worked just stopped working "All good things must come to an end sooner or later...." I was very happy with the behavior except that I wanted an option to set the "--no-wait" as default so that I will not be prompted by emacs before killing every file visited using emacsclientw (or emacsclient). The minibuffer prompt I get: Buffer `_emacs' still has clients; kill it? (y or n) -dk -- dhruva (dk) Contents reflect my personal views only!
