Re: daemon mode breakage

[Scot Becker]

Out of curiosity (I experience this bug too) what do you have to give up if you compile with Lucid?   I assume that anti-aliased fonts would go. Do you loose the ability to use proportional fonts as well or is that handled by Emacs itself?

This is a bug in Gtk+.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715.  (emacs/etc/PROBLEMS
has a note about this too).
If you intend to use the daemon mode, it's better to compile emacs
using the lucid toolkit.
It doesn't look like the Gtk+ bug will ever be fixed so...
