I am merging this into tumme.el right now. How about something simple like using a defvar to store information about whether the clean-up function has been called in this session or not? After each call to `tumme-display-thumbs', check that variable, and if nil, ask the user if it is OK to do a clean up (or really check if a clean-up is necessary). We can provide options like "Yes, please clen-up", "No, ask me later", or "No, and don't bother me again this session" or something like that. Together with a custom variable that determines if we should use cleaning at all, this should suit most user's needs, right? What do you say? /Mathias _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
