I infer from the '-d :0.0' and the XTerm that you're trying to open Emacs in X. Some X applications have problems with specifying the X display on the command line, even if they supposedly support it. Setting the DISPLAY environment variable usually works in these cases. I've never seen an app with this problem go phantom (they usually die saying 'couldn't connect to X server'), but you never know. -- Sam Hanes elemecca AT gmail DOT com Yes. > Are you sure? >> Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Why is replying above the quote annoying? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
