Re: gdb-ui / fring coredump question

   ... if you are using a different toolkit (GTK?) perhaps
   (window-fringes) gives something different again with a car of less
   than 8.

No.  (window-fringes)  gives you   (8 8 nil)
*unless* you specify a non-default font size.


Using yesterdays's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot,  Tue, 2005 Feb  1  13:09 UTC
GNU Emacs 21.3.50.49 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.4.14)
started with

    emacs -Q

[I evaluated

  (custom-set-faces '(fringe ((((class color)) (:background "blue")))))

to see the fringes.]

The default:

    (window-fringes)  evaluates to     (8 8 nil)

    and fringe-mode   evaluates to     nil

After I evaluated

    (set-frame-font "10x20")

 (window-fringes)  evaluates to     (10 10 nil)

 and fringe-mode   continues to evaluate to     nil

Incidently, to set-fringe-mode on the left only, I must load "fringe";
otherwise I enter the debugger.

(progn
  (load "fringe")
  ;; Fringe only on left
  (set-fringe-mode '(nil . 0)))

Then (window-fringes)  evaluates to     (10 0 nil)
for the larger font and

    (8 0 nil) for the default

and fringe-mode    evaluates to    (nil . 0)
