diff README.multi-tty @ 83009:b2b37c85b00a

Numerous bugfixes and small improvements. lisp/bindings.el (mode-line-frame-identification): Use %T, not %F. lisp/faces.el (x-create-frame-with-faces): Added frame-creation-function parameter. (tty-create-frame-with-faces): Ditto. lisp/frame.el (frame-creation-function): Make it frame-local. (select-frame-set-input-focus): Use the window-system function, not the variable. lisp/server.el (server-handle-delete-tty): Make sure the client process is removed from server-clients after the delete-process call. It seems that the sentinel is not called. Added docs. (server-process-filter): Immediately add the client to server-clients when a new termcap frame is created. Fixed a case of `not' called with two parameters. Ignore errors while sending the evaluation result back to the client. (server-kill-buffer-query-function): Don't ask the user if the server process is already dead. lisp/term/x-win.el: Don't change mode-line-frame-identification. src/buffer.c (syms_of_buffer): Added %T to the docs of mode-line-format. src/dispnew.c (init_display): Increment the reference count of the new termcap display. src/frame.c (make_terminal_frame): Set the old top frame's visibility to `obscured'. (Fmake_terminal_frame): Look at the current termcap display's name, not just the similar frame parameter. Try to get the type from the current display first, and only then from Vdefault_frame_alist. src/keyboard.c (handle_interrupt): New function to separate the signal handling from C-g processing. (interrupt_signal): Call handle_interrupt to do the real work. (kbd_buffer_store_event): Use handle_interrupt instead of interrupt_signal. (cmd_error_internal): Use FRAME_INITIAL_P instead of ugly hacks. src/termhooks.h (initial_display): New declaration. src/xdisp.c (decode_mode_spec): Added '%T' (termcap-only frame name). git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-49
