** Should dired-do-search bind tags-loop-revert-buffers automatically?

Tasks needed before the next release.

* WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS.

These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
attention of Windows users to fixing them.

** [e-mail] 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)

* BUGS WAITING FOR MORE USER INPUT

** undefined reference getopt_long
Report by Daniel C. Bastos <[e-mail]> on bug-gnu-emacs
from 2007-08-27.  Impossible to procede without more input from OP (as
of 20070912, emails are bouncing) or someone else who can reproduce this.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-08/msg01497.html

** emacs-22.1 with GTK problems (with patches)
Only outstanding issue seems to be whether Solaris 2.6 GTK can be
supported in the absence of recursive mutexes, via a change to
alloc.c, or whether configure should abort.

** modify-frame-parameters behaviour broken
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2008-01/msg00058.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-01/msg01367.html

This should move the R frame edge 20pix to the R of the R screen edge.
Instead, it moves the L frame edge 20pix to the R of the L screen edge.
(modify-frame-parameters nil
                         '((user-position . t) (user-size . t) (left - -20)))

(modify-frame-parameters nil
                         '((user-position . t) (user-size . t) (left + -20)))

It works in Emacs 21. The "+ +" and "- +" forms are OK; ie it is when
the number is -ve that things go wrong.
