This is not a good place to report problems and ask questions about
the CVS code.  Please write to emacs-devel@gnu.org instead.

What happens if, instead of setting source-directory, you wait until
Emacs prompts for it when you first time click on the link, and then
select the right directory?  Does it work then?

And btw, what exactly do you mean by ``the place where I put the C
sources''?  Does the variable points to the `src' directory or to its
parent?

This works only if you click File->Open File from the menu bar.  If
you type "C-x C-f", Emacs doesn't pop up a file selection dialog
because people who type at the keyboard don't like to have to reach
for the mouse.

This does work for me, so please report the details (to the address
suggested above).

Because it wasn't coded.

Note that if you change your default font to a proportional one, you
will have aesthetic problems in quite a few other places, so this is
currently not recommended.

Never had that, but then I am on Windows XP, not on 98.
