frame problems

[Darren/Torin/Who Ever...]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I'm currently using Gnus under XEmacs and I have both tty and X-Window
frames.  This is due to having X on my home network and just using
screen when I'm telnetting in from the client site.

My problem comes if I didn't remember to quit back to the *Group* level
in Gnus before switching frames.  If I just switch to an existing
Summary buffer and ask it to display an Article, it does.
Unfortunately, it displays it on the X Frame that I can't see.  Could
gnus have a setting that tells it to restrict itself to one frame.  That
way if I ask to see an Article, it will come up in *this* frame.

Thanks,
  Darren

Well, hm.  No, I don't think so -- it's perfectly legitimate to have
the article buffer in a different frame than the summary buffer.

Setting `gnus-single-article-buffer' to nil will probably help some,
though.

This is due to an XEmacs bug.  Hopefully to be fixed in 19.15.  An
already displayed window is preferred over a new window in certain
operations (like the one you're attempting), even though the already
displayed window may be impossible to see.  A little side-effect is
that your keyboard focus also got thrown at the other window.

Lars does seem to spend a lot of time on aegir.ifi.uio.no  :-)
