Re: Emacs hangs on current display when the minibuffer is active on another display

[Ovidiu Gheorghioiu]

Is there an eval forn that would cause emacs to exit this loop?

I can do gnuclient -eval from the display where Emacs is
non-functional. I've tried (keyboard-quit) and
(minibuffer-keyboard-quit) but that didn't work. Finally I did (setq
quit-flag t) with the -- foreseeable I guess -- result that Emacs quit
entirely. So maybe there is some hope. A workaround involving -eval
(something) would be perfectly acceptable for me.
