What were you trying to do?
Get emacs to deal with exposes.
What's wrong:
It wasn't doing anything with expose events...
When I caused expose events by moving other windows across it,
or clicking on zgrams, it wasn't drawing part of lines of text.
I don't know that it was actually getting exposes, though, due
to backing store or save-unders or whatever (what is the
difference, anyway? I should read up on that).
When I totally obscured it with another window which had been
iconified, then exposed it, it got it right. (Due to not having
backing store or save-under on that iconified window, I guess).
Jik and I both think that it probably just missed one expose
somewhere along the line...
Anyway, I stopped and gcore'd the emacs. The core is on my hard
disk right now.
attach -n -e fries:/site
/fries/site/usr/local/core.emacs.noexpose
Please let me know if anyone wants this core file. If not, I
want to remove it soon, as it is eating a good chunk of my disk.
I doubt the core file will do any good, though, really...
What should have happened:
It should have redrawn when it got exposes.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
N/A.
