emacs-w32 shouldn't require dbus-daemon, as far as I know. This
sounds like a bug. Could you give me a specific recipe for
reproducing the problem?
Just make sure Cygwin has cleanly terminated, then open a mintty (I use
tcsh if that has a bearing on this bug) and start emacs-w32 from it.
Toggle the menu bar if it's not already on an select File->Open from it.
Open another mintty and try to kill the hanging emacs process from it.
Then use the task mamanger to really kill it and get a "broken pipe"
message in the second mintty. Now dbus-launch in the first mintty and
set the two environment variables (btw, here's another bug: if you
specify csh-style, you'll get the first one for csh alright, but the
second one is still in shell syntax). Start emacs-w32 again and observe
that you now get a functional W32 file open dialog. You can also kill
emacs from the second mintty with no ill effects (well, poor emacs dies,
but that's expected).
I can reproduce this. (I use bash, so tcsh isn't the issue.) I'll see
if I can debug it, but I'm copying Daniel in the hope that he gets to it
first.
I'm not sure about the dbus-launch issue, since I always use bash. But
here's the output I get from `dbus-launch --csh-syntax':
setenv DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
'unix:path=/tmp/dbus-wCGlBfQgo6,guid=f3e1dad82fc7ce9eff209b9300000000';
set DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=5020;
What's the problem with that? As I understand csh syntax, the second
line sets a variable but doesn't export it. Do you have some reason to
think that's the wrong thing to do? If so, it's a D-bus issue and
should be reported in a different thread.
manager (the Gtk build will also hang up on you in a slightly different way
after you close the dialog box it has shown). I believe this is related to pipe
handling as you'll get messages about broken pipes sometimes.
Again, please send a recipe for producing the problem with the Gtk build.
Same thing as above, just with emacs-gtk, after having started
multiwindow X11 and setting DISPLAY environment in the shell. Unless
dbus is started and emacs can connect to it, emacs hangs up when you
cancel the file open dialog (obviously from Gtk).
I don't see the issue here. I said in the release announcement that you
need to have a D-Bus daemon running before starting emacs-X11 under X.
One other thing: how to tell this emacs apart from the Gtk build so that
I can switch the default font for each?
I'm out of time right now, but I'll be able to answer this later. Just
to make sure I understand, you want to be able to do this in your
~/.emacs, right?
