I was a big fan of emacsclient and used it quite some time - but finally those frequent Emacs crashes caused by it were just unbearable, so I went back to 'normal' use of Emacs. But maybe you are right - I should run a second Emacs instance as server only used to popup emacsclient buffers on demand, while doing all the serious stuff in a non-server instance of Emacs. -- cheers, Thorsten -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
