5.4.x: x-face glitches

5.4.x: x-face glitches

[Jay Sachs]

Since upgrading to 5.4.x, the x-face no longer gets displayed in the
nice place it used to (after the "From: ", before the text of the
From: header); it seems I only can specify a buffer. Is there any way
I can get the previous behavior back?

Also, since I use tcsh, I needed to change gnus-picons-convert-x-face
to use '()' instead of '{}'; perhaps this could have been done
automatically?

One more thing. I have in .gnus:


(setq gnus-picons-convert-x-face "( echo '/* Width=48, Height=48 */'; uncompface; ) | icontopbm | pbmtoxbm > /tmp/picon-xface.sachs.xbm")
(setq gnus-use-picons t)
(setq gnus-picons-display-where 'article)
(add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-picons-article-display-x-face t)

and in front of every x-face, there's a little tiny "v/t" glyph (I
would guess an ASCII 0x0b ???). Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

I'm using the non-picons version of the XFace
(`gnus-article-display-x-face') and it seems to woro ok...

I'm confused. In the article buffer, I do M-x
gnus-article-display-x-face, and it pops up an xv window.
What rgnus used to do was to make the headers like this:

  From: [Lars' xface] Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@ifi.uio.no>

Is that facility gone?

(I noticed there's also an 'article-display-x-face' command, but it
seems to do the same thing).

	It works fine for me, but I have the compface library linked
into my xemacs rather than calling out the external versions.  And as I
don't have the external versions, I can't test it.

	You might want to look at the setting of
`gnus-article-x-face-command' compared to previous versions.  Or the code
which uses that variable.

Found what happened. Somehow the default value of

  gnus-article-x-face-command

went from

 'gnus-xmas-article-display-xface

to

 "{ echo '/* Width=48, Height=48 */'; uncompface; } | icontopbm | xv -quit -"

which I would guess is the appropriate default for Emacs, not XEmacs.
