I'm not proposing doing anything right now (these are new features), but I think a daemon-like behavior on Windows would make sense, even if we're not talking of a true Windows service (which would bring little benefit, other than automatic (re)starting, for quite a lot of added complexity). The cool thing would be to have a Windows Emacs server start as a systray app. I'd love for Emacs not to use space in the taskbar, just in the tray, until I bring it forward with emacsclient. David De La Harpe Golden proposed as much back in August (though he was talking about GNU/Linux, I think). As a lesser alternative, an Emacs server could simply hide its taskbar button(s) when minimized, at least initially. Not really related, but still: why does Emacs on Windows not handle WM_(QUERY)ENDSESSION messages? There was discussion in July 2006 (in a thread called "Exit hooks not run at logout on w32"), with no clear consensus emerging on what to do. Juanma
