What were you trying to do?
Startup emacs with a specific geometry using the following
command line:
emacs -geo 80x48
What's wrong:
While the shell widget that emacs uses correctly interprets the
-geo 80x48 option, emacs doesn't. The result if for emacs to
startup with active buffers with the names -geo and 80x48. The
problem goes away if I use -geometry 80x48. Emacs is doing some
command line parsing, but it's parsing doesn't match that of
X entirely.
What should have happened:
Emacs should interpret the command line the same as X/Xt does in
all cases so that options meant for X arn't misinterpreted by emacs.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
