25.2; Recovering loaddefs.el with desktop-mode hangs when linum is on |
Date: |

Mutt/1.8.3 (2017-05-23) |
With the following init file:
(desktop-save-mode 1)
(global-linum-mode)
I visit "/usr/share/emacs/25.2/lisp/loaddefs.el" and everything is fine.
I save the desktop session with `desktop-save-in-desktop-dir' and kill
Emacs.
On next start, this displays in the terminal
Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is
unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have
this problem.
Note: file is write protected
and Emacs hangs for minutes at least, possibly forever, becoming a CPU hog. I
then have to kill Emacs.
The corresponding buffer entry in .emacs.desktop is the following:
;; Buffer section -- buffers listed in same order as in buffer list:
(desktop-create-buffer 208
"/usr/share/emacs/25.2/lisp/loaddefs.el"
"loaddefs.el"
'emacs-lisp-mode
'(linum-mode)
1
'(nil nil)
t
nil
'((buffer-file-coding-system . utf-8-unix))
'((mark-ring nil)))
If I remove the entry or if I disable linum-mode by commenting the corresponding
line in the init file, Emacs can start properly.

Sorry for being unclear: I meant to point out that a non-daemon
startup initially has such a frame as well, and we never heard any
complaints about that. Which might mean that some of the code
routinely run during startup expects to find that frame marked
visible.

OK, I've pushed the change. Let's keep an eye on similar problems if
they pop up.
