Actually I did have one comment which I forgot in the joy of just seeing this case come in ;-) "Install" is a system-wide action (ignoring user images here) whereas "choice" is individual. Mixing the two is confusing. Not everyone is on laptops, shared machines are still common, so having /usr/bin/emacs trigger behavior on the mere presence of this or that package isn't ideal. On a shared server both -x and -nox will probably be installed since subsets of users may prefer one or the other. I'd rather not have the behavior change suddenly for me just because some other user went and installed the -x version. So it sure would be nice if I can configure something (an env var, .rc file or such) to lock in how it'll behave for me. There's other ways around that so I don't see it as vital, just a suggestion that'd be nice to have. -- Jyri J. Virkki - jyri.virkki at sun.com - Sun Microsystems
