I used to be able to start a prefix shell on my SUSE workstation, and then |
2 |
launch prefix-emerged Emacs from there. An Emacs window would appear just |
3 |
as expected. |
4 |
|
5 |
Not so anymore. Emacs complains "Display :0.0 unavailable, simulating -nw" |
6 |
and starts up in nano fashion in the existing xterm window. |
7 |
|
8 |
Other prefix X applications, e g xclock, won't start at all. |
9 |
|
10 |
It does not help to do `xhost +' in a different (non-prefixed) shell on |
11 |
the workstation. And this was never required before anyway. |
12 |
|
13 |
It does not help to try other settings of the DISPLAY environment variable |
14 |
(and I never bothered about it before). |
15 |
|
16 |
It is not a general X problem on the workstation. If I don't enter a |
17 |
prefix shell I can start Emacs and xclock etc with no problem. |
18 |
|
19 |
My USE flags include the "X" flag. |
20 |
|
21 |
My workstation has not been reconfigured. |
22 |
|
23 |
I tried emerging yet another X application. I don't see any particular |
24 |
warnings at emerge time. But the emerged application cannot be launched. |
25 |
|
26 |
I also happen to have some old prefix trees lying around. If I enter a |
27 |
prefix shell in a 2008-05-09 tree I can launch its X applications with no |
28 |
problem. If I try a 2008-05-22 tree the problem is present. So it appears |
29 |
that the problem occurred sometime since May 9. |

31 |
Anyone else seeing this? Any clue as to what it can be? |
