--Signature=_Sun__20_Mar_2005_11_30_52_+0100_WEe8KIK.oEuj+p4V Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all, I've been a long time WindowMaker user and, although I've used KDE and Gnome in the past, I never really got into them. However, I wanted to give Gnome 2.10 a try, and I have to admit I'm liking it, and will probably switch to it fulltime when they fix some of the memory usage bugs (read: nautilus). I'd like to thank the FreeBSD gnome team for their great job as well. Now, there's a little problem. I use xemacs as my coding editor, and never had a problem before. Gnome insists on changing the aspect of the app, like KDE did, although I remember KDE having an option in the control center to disable that. I can't find this anywhere in the Gnome control center. How can I tell Gnome not to touch my xemacs? Or is it hidden inside the gconf files? This is how xemacs looks, with white bg instead of gray: http://www.energyhq.es.eu.org/images/emacs-fubared.png It's a stock xemacs built from ports + the NeXT icons. Besides that, I'm getting X errors every time paren highlight happens or I'm doing some editing. The errors look like this: X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource id in failed request: 0x1000be7 Serial number of failed request: 29461 Current serial number in output stream: 29463 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 25 (X_SendEvent) Resource id in failed request: 0x1000be7 Serial number of failed request: 29462 Current serial number in output stream: 29463 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 18 (X_ChangeProperty) Resource id in failed request: 0x1000be8 Serial number of failed request: 29469 Current serial number in output stream: 29471 X Error of failed request: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) Major opcode of failed request: 25 (X_SendEvent) Resource id in failed request: 0x1000be8 Serial number of failed request: 29470 Current serial number in output stream: 29471 This does not happen when used with WindowMaker or XFCE, so I'm assuming it's metacity's/Gnome's fault.
