Minor annoyance with `z'

Minor annoyance with `z'

[Stefan Waldherr]

Hi,

I think the suspend action is not quite consistent. Imagine two frames in one
big XEmacs window

	---------
	|   |   |
	| A | B |
	|   |   |
	---------

Running gnus in frame `A' and suspending it via `z' results in one big frame
with some previous buffer.  Quitting gnus via `q' results in the expected
behaviour, that is TWO frames. Is there a reason, why the two behave
differently wrt frames?

cu
Stefan.

I assume you are running this framey stuff via the XEmacs toolbar news 
button?  Well, the command `toolbar-news' puts the frame-removing code 
to `gnus-exit-gnus-hook'.

Lars, does `z' run `gnus-exit-gnus-hook'?  If not, why not?

I dunno if it is the same, but I do C-x 3 to get two frames, and M-x gnus to
fire up gnus.

It is not the same.

What we have here is a terminology mismatch.  `C-x 3' doesn't create
two frames.  It creates two windows on a single frame.  So, I
misunderstood the original question, thinking that both A and B were
frames.

I don't know why `q' and `z' behave differently in that respect, BTW.

(You're using the Emacs terms "frame" and "window" in the reverse way
that they're supposed to be used.)

I'd suggest using two frames instead of two windows in one frame.
