Unable to customize menu-bar startup from .emacs file |
Date: |
Sun, 26 Sep 2010 09:03:55 +0800 |
I put this in my .emacs file:
(custom-set-variables
'(gud-gdb-command-name "gdb --annotate=1")
'(large-file-warning-threshold nil)
'(menu-bar-mode t)
'(shell-dirtrack-verbose nil))
(custom-set-faces
)
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
Note the (menu-bar-mode t). When I fire up emacs, I have to M-x menu-
bar-mode to get a menu bar. I am running GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (mac-apple-
darwin, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
I have posted my problem to
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3793806/how-do-i-display-the-menu-bar-in-emacs-every-time-i-start-up
The suggestions there didn't work; other users noted they did not have
this type of a problem; I am concluding, then, that the problem lies
with this particular build.
In GNU Emacs 22.1.1 (mac-apple-darwin, Carbon Version 1.6.0)
of 2009-11-23 on Avericity.local
Windowing system distributor `Apple Inc.', version 10.5.8

There is no relationship between gnu.org and Apple in this regard.
You could report it to them through whatever channels they have for
users of their system to report bugs and make requests.
