Subject: suggestion (at least for documentation): X-Face and GNU Emacs
Date: 20 Nov 1998 12:49:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <yqkkww4qntjs.fsf@nd.edu> (raw)
GNU Emacs 20.3.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, X toolkit) of Thu Aug 27 1998 on darwin
Pterodactyl Gnus v0.51
For those of us who use GNU Emacs, and hence have X-Face headers
displayed by popping up an xv window, is there any good way to get rid
of the xv window automatically at some point? As it stands, once an
X-Face header is displayed, the window stays open until another
message is read. You can even quit gnus (not that you'd ever want
to), and the window is still there.
At the moment, I am adding the following to gnus-summary-exit-hook:
(function
(lambda ()
(if (member "article-x-face"
(mapcar 'process-name (process-list)))
(kill-process "article-x-face"))))
I don't know anything about processes in Emacs, so I wouldn't be
surprised if there were a better way to do this. If this is actually
a sensible way, should this be documented? Should this function be
named and a pointer given in the "Look for and display any X-Face
headers" paragraph of the "Article Washing" node of info? (e.g.,
"Under Emacs, the function gnus-kill-x-face-process will kill the xv
process; you might consider adding this to gnus-summary-exit-hook.")
