Ahhh, that's a race condition!
If you call gnuserv-start from your .emacs and from the command-line
gnuserv starts, stops and starts again. Sometimes dtemacs will catch
it when it is stopped. If the performance of your machine is quite
consistent, things might always happen that way. It took me ages to
work this out when it was happening to me... :-)
I should document it...
True, certain things will try to operate on the minimised frame. I
guess the thing to do if you're asking gnuserv to evaluate interactive
code is to make sure it has popped up a new, visible frame. There
isn't much else you can do...
peace & happiness,
martin
