I'm reopening the bug as the cure seems worse than the disease.Don't do this unless you are absolutley sure the bug fix is in, which in this case it isn't. This is the trunk. If you can't stand breakage, sometimes for several weeks, use a stable release. This is getting silly. Jan D.
Jan,I don't know what policy the Emacs developers have agreed upon regarding the trunk, but all projects I've been working for so far probably would not accept a "If you can't stand breakage, sometimes for several weeks, use a stable release." attitude. Usually, extensive work is done on branches, especially if it stands a good chance of breaking stuff. But maybe the Emacs devs have agreed upon another policy...
Anyway, your patch causes more problems for me than it solves. That might be a problem of my specific Ubuntu configuration, GTK version or whatever. Would you at least be so kind to comment on that? Since you closed the bug again, you seem to be damn sure that your bug is fine and has no negative side-effects whatsoever.
