I am attempting to set up emacs on a new Windows XP installation. I downloaded a few of the latest versions of emacs, but they're all exhibiting the same behavior -- notably, the maximize is not... maximizing. To be specific, when I just have "(w32-send-sys-command 61488)" in my .emacs file, the frame jumps around a bit. And the frame does not actually fill the available space -- there is usually a gap of about a line or two near the bottom. The frame can also be moved by dragging the title bar, just like a non-maximized frame.
If I restore and then maximize the window myself, emacs works fine and maximizes properly. However I've found that if I switch to a different application and return, occasionally emacs will no longer be fully maximized. I searched through the mailing list archives and found the following snippet: (defun jbr-init () "Called from term-setup-hook after the default terminal setup is done or directly from startup if term-setup-hook not used. The value 0xF030 is the command for maximizing a window." (interactive) (w32-send-sys-command 61488) (ecb-redraw-layout) (calendar) ) (setq term-setup-hook 'jbr-init) (setq window-setup-hook 'jbr-init) Note that this was from http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-emacs-windows/2002-08/msg00013.html Upon startup emacs complains about the ecb-redraw-layout function, and I haven't been able to find a reference to this. However if that function call is removed, emacs no longer maximizes properly. But if I ignore the complaint from emacs, it works properly -- except that it still occasionally resizes upon task switching. Any ideas on how to make emacs stay maximized? Thanks in advance. ____________________________________________________________________________________ You rock.
