I have now stripped down the .emacs, and I am still puzzled, so I hope
someone can give me a hint as to what my new emacs is doing.
I know that an existing default.el would be read last, but there is no
such file on my system, as far as I can see.
What about ~/.Xresources ?
No such file on my system, but I'll look into the system's Xresources files.
Can you post your "stripped down" .emacs ?
It's contents is only the text posted between the --- lines, that's how
stripped it is, to make sure this strange behaviour is not my own doing.
Xresources:
The system Xresources file(s all) contain the line
emacs.geometry: 80x25
This is the size the frame gets initially.
Then, when .emacs is read, the line
(setq initial-frame-alist '((top . -00) (left . 300) (width . 89)
(height . 51)))
makes the frame move, but does not manage to resize it.
I do not understand? Is it wrong syntax for setq of height and width
(works for default-frame-alist though)?
A Q&D way, since new-frames are like I want them, is to set
(delete-frame)
(new-frame)
in the end of .emacs
BTW: The inclusion of the emacs related entry into a ~/.Xresources and
edit of these, did not help.
2) The changing of the face for the marked region is somewhat of a
puzzle, but I can live with it. It nags me that some function overrides
my settings, though.
