I'm not sure how to correctly answer your question, but this is what I do: 1) I run xemacs in a VNC virtual X. I *never* interract with that frame -- it is just homed there. 2) Whenever I want to use emacs, I use gnuclient to get a new frame on my current $DISPLAY. 3) If I find that gnus is locked to another frame (I forgot to kill the frame before going to work) I use delete-other-frame to remove all other frames and then create a homed display on my vnc display. gnus seems to then work fine on my (current) display. I'm sure that fixing the problem you are experiencing will also fix what happens in 3 and I can stop worrying about it. -- Rupa (rupa@rupa.com for normal email) Please don't email duplicate replies.
