Subject: bin/emacsclient-hack: Open the window on the right display.
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~mdw/git/profile/commitdiff_plain/c4e84cb158a656fffecd4b8db436d895b69412cf

bin/emacsclient-hack: Open the window on the right display.

By default, Emacsclient doesn't open frames on the client's display.
This grotty shim program does the right magic, by simply passing the
appropriate command-line option.  It's intended for use in `.desktop'
files, because they don't allow shell expansion of environment variables
in the right way.

Silly rabbits.
