Hi, I've recently updated Emacs to the latest version (23.2_2,2 from 23.1.1) along with all dependencies. Since then, the startup screen when running in an X window shows b/w text only like in the days of yore. Not that the startup screen graphics are that important, but things that don't work as expected tend to make me nervous. According to startup.el, the following variables affect what is shown at startup. Evaluating them in the scratch buffer looks like this: inhibit-startup-screen nil initial-buffer-choice nil That is, the startup screen *should* be displayed, or am I missing something here? The interesting thing is that nothing else about the startup screen appears broken. If I evaluate (fancy-startup-screen) in the scratch buffer, i.e. the function which actually displays the startup screen, Emacs faithfully does so, including the graphics and all bells and whistles. Has anything fundamentally changed between these versions? Does Emacs think it runs in a terminal? Any clues would be greatly appreciated. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka http://www.mhoenicka.de AQ score 38
