That's odd. No. On XEmacs 19.14, GNUS can hang after displaying the (awesome) logo. XEmacs wakes up on any keypress or mouse activity and GNUS will then connect to the server. This is very much an XEmacs bug, it occurs outside of GNUS as well. IM-ignorant-O, it's hanging inside a sit-for (or the equivalent). You can avoid the hang by pressing another key immediately after starting GNUS, but then you lose the logo screen coz the redisplay's skipped on pending input. Since the logo was one of the things that prompted me to switch to XEmacs (honest, it's so mysteriously cool :-) it's kinda hard to forgo viewing it. Hmm, I recall some discussion way back about how the logo ate too many colors. Does anyone have that version of the logo? I'd like to look at it. Hmm, can XEmacs put glyphs inside the modeline? If so, a tiny version in the modeline for GNUS buffers would rock. As would modifying the icon for an iconified GNUS buffer. Completely unrelated: How about not converting smilies that are at the beginning of non-empty (other than the smiley itself) lines? Too many people use `:' as a quoting prefix. Of course, another approach would be to extend gnus-cite to replace recognized cite prefixes by a unique pixmap. Add a "unsmiley" command and things would be cool even when stuff like patches are viewed. -Sudish
