mb> This is the first 19.15 beta I've built in awhile. I found a minor

mb> I just touched `man/Makefile' (it didn't exist) for now -- who needs

Please get a copy of man/Makefile from the ftp site, and add
vhdl-mode, oo-browser, and hyperbole to the `srcs= ...' assignment.

mb> One other note -- I have set:

mb> focus-follows-mouse's value is t
mb>   -- a built-in boolean variable.

mb> Documentation:
mb> Variable to control XEmacs behavior with respect to focus changing.

It solves all the focus related stuff I've complained about in the
past with olvwm.

mb> but it doesn't appear to solve anything for me.

Shoot.

mb> In particular, I was hoping this would correct the problem where
mb> the XEmacs display goes blank and does not return unless an
mb> iconify/de-iconify sequence is given. This happens consistently
mb> using fvwm-2.0.43 under the following scenario:

mb> 	(1) Start Gnus from the toolbar
mb> 	(2) Go to another desktop
mb> 	(3) Come back to the page containing the XEmacs Gnus
mb> 	    frame. It's now blank.

I've never noticed anything along those lines.  You have reached the
*Groups*/*Topics* buffer display, right?

mb> This problem only occurs if I switch focus (I have fvwm set to follows
mb> mouse focus) while XEmacs is starting Gnus/VM (probably any large
mb> elisp package). Anyone else using fvwm see this? Does it occur using
mb> other virtual window managers?

I've seen the display blank out while Gnus is initializing (or there
is a long sequence of lisp code), but it always redisplays when I
return to the desktop in question and XEmacs is idling in the command
loop.  This is possibly a fvwm bug?  Do you have another virtual
window manager to try your XEmacs settings with?

mb> Configured for `sparc-sun-solaris2.5'.

Thanks for the report.

mb> Possibly relevant stderr output from make:

This is due to having UNIX_DOMAIN_SOCKETS and INTERNET_DOMAIN_SOCKETS
both defined.

This shouldn't hurt anything.  I forgot to update the autoloads before
generating the distribution.  The next beta should be a bit nicer.

Looks like time to knock down the pure size.
