23.0.60; inhibit-startup-message not working as intended

[Thierry Volpiatto]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Hello, since last update , (setq inhibit-startup-message t) or
(setq inhibit-startup-screen t) are not working as intended:

The startup message is inhibited ==> ok
The text in *scratch* is not erased. ==> ?
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
