According to (what I understand of) Pida's Emacs Support page[0], the necessary patches for Emacs have been adopted upstream (and have been released as of Emacs 22.3), though this version hasn't yet percolated into Debian.
You could always submit a bug to the Emacs team and ask them to package 22.3 (it's been out since September 2008) or incorporate the necessary patches into their 22.2 builds (though as it's a new 22.3 feature, it's probably easier just to wait for the update)... I doubt it's a good idea to embed a copy of Emacs in the Pida package just to be able to embed Emacs windows in the Pida gui... Thus it seems like the Emacs team's bug, as Pida depends on features released but not yet packaged. Until those patches are incorporated into Debian, there are two options, as I see it: 1. Disable Emacs in Pida (simple as removing the Emacs option from the loading window or making Pida always select vim). 2. Keep the pida code the same, but direct users to the Emacs page[0] in the readme. This is only a temporary fix (waiting for 22.3, and encourages people to install not-official-Debian emacs binaries). There are probably other options that you might be able to come up with but I hope this helps at least somewhat, Nick 0: http://pida.co.uk/trac/wiki/EmacsSupport -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
