RE: speedbar-frame-mode calls dframe-frame-mode too early

[Drew Adams]

    In speedbar-frame-mode, function `dframe-frame-mode' is called using
    an empty speedbar-buffer. I have code that fits frames to their
    current buffer upon switch-to-buffer (if one-window-p).  In this case,
    my code fits the frame to an empty buffer, because the buffer contents
    are filled after, not before, the frame is created with the buffer.

    Please create the frame (via `dframe-frame-mode') after, not before,
    the speedbar-buffer has already been filled.


    In GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
     of 2006-03-20 on W2ONE
    X server distributor `Microsoft Corp.', version 5.1.2600
    configured using `configure --with-gcc (3.4) --cflags -Id:/g/include'

I should add that I tried using the available speedbar hooks to run my
frame-fitting function, to no avail. I tried:

. speedbar-mode-hook
. speedbar-after-create-hook

In both cases the hook is run too early: the buffer is still empty.

If the suggestion I made above cannot be implemented for some reason, then
please consider providing another hook that will be run after the buffer is
filled - for example, a hook at the end of `speedbar-update-contents'.
Actually, I need to fit the frame only once, after the initial speedbar
display, but if there cannot be a hook at that place, then a hook each time
the contents are updated would be OK. If another hook is added, probably the
best place would be at the end of `speedbar-frame-mode' (that is,
`speedbar').

Thx.
