I'd like to thank you and Matt Novenstern (who replied via personal email). The solution involved the following: 1) Creating a desktop file with the following line: Exec=emacsclient -a "" -c -n %f 2) Naming that file emacs.desktop 3) Putting it in the ~/.local/share/applications directory. Step 2 is necessary so that the Gnome shell will correlate the WM_CLASS property with the desktop file. -- Michael Welsh Duggan ([email protected]) _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
