Could you explain what advantages you perceive for > running it under X? a few: * All keys work, regardless of terminal settings. * I can steal system keybindings (like cmd-h) * System integration (copy&paste) * Ability to spawn new frames (mostly for `gnus-other-frame') * Appearance modifiable by elisp * More and nicer colors * Tetris looks way better :) * Usable fringes (i.e. Edebug doesn't draw over text) * Scrollbar (I don't use it, but it's nice visual location info) Speed is the most important thing -nw has, of course. The looks on the other hand are very customizable. Hiding the toolbar and menubar were the first things I did. regards, Nikolaj Schumacher
