bbdb-frame

[Thomas Hungenberg]

Hello!

I'm using Gnus with BBDB 2.32 and bbdb-frame.el for quite some time
now. Some months ago, I upgraded BBDB to version 2.34, but
unfortunately bbdb-frame.el didn't work with that version of BBDB
anymore: It didn't open a frame for BBDB.
So I continued using BBDB 2.32.

Now I'd really like to upgrade BBDB to a current version and wonder if
anybody is successfully running bbdb-frame.el (perhaps a newer version?)
with that?

The bbdb-frame.el version I use is

,----
| ;; Module: bbdb-frame.el

| ;;         Changed everything from screens to frames, and added a quit option to
| ;;         just delete the frame.

I wonder what bbdb-frame.el does?  Maybe it's sufficient to add
"*BBDB*" to special-display-buffer-names?

Okay, from that description it seems to be enough to add "*BBDB*" to
special-display-buffer-names.  But after you try it you will be able
to tell us what else bbdb-frame.el was doing that you are now missing :-)
