[expert] Emacs problems in 7.0

[Saif A. Warsi]

I have been running Mandrake since its early versions and recently I
installed 7.0. I am noticing some problems with emacs; specifically, I
use emacs for all code development and when I compile I get error and
other messages in the split buffer that appears at the bottom. In
earlier versions, the messages were clear and readable whereas with this
version the messages are obfuscated by Ctrl characters. Does anyone know
what the problem might be and obviously a fix would be nice.

Thanks

Saif
