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
