No. It's mainly that way to root out problems with buffer movement when the contents change. If it updates once a minute, it makes glitches appear totally incomprehensible, while when it happens every second, it's clear what the culprit is. But I think we've now covered all the problems associated with updating the buffer from a timer (there hasn't been a bug report in this area for at least a month, I think), so it's probably time to switch the default to not show the seconds. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no/
