You may also want to look at a related post/thread in [EMAIL PROTECTED] about my opinion about the Preferences panel Emacs.app provides: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-11/msg00424.html > My wheel mouse didn't work under Carbon Emacs, but it did under > Emacs.app. I'm not sure why that is. > That dreaded "process-connection-type" error still plagued me in > Carbon, and I need M-x shell.

Note that the Carbon port on the Emacs CVS trunk (Emacs 23) is effectively unmaintained as the configure message says. If the comparison is made with that version, that doesn't make sense. > Meta is mapped to Option in Emacs.app by default, so all the Mac > shortcuts still work.

As Emacs on X11 does not have a functionarity to write to X resources, I didn't provide that either. > I can tweak settings with the Property List Editor if I want to. That's also possible in the Carbon port, in much more compatible way with X resources.
