I've developed a weird problem over the last couple of weeks that has me stumped. If I start up emacs (using alt-f2 or desktop application icon or in terminal window) it almost always immediately minimizes down to the panel and i have to click on it down there to get it to open properly. This doesn't happen to other programs and in fact once in a while (5% of time?) emacs opens properly although I can't detect any pattern.
This problem started out of the blue and I can't figure out where to look to fix it. Could someone please point me to a config file or whatever that might be causing this?
Might you have logged out or shut down while Emacs was running with its window minimized to the Taskbar? Are you running KDE 3.3? If so, had you, prior to the KDE 3.3 upgrade told KDE to remember the window configuration for Emacs? If so, then the upgrade to 3.3 caused that remembered window configuration to be converted to a KDE 3.3 Window-Specific Setting, which by default sets things like window minimized state to be remembered.
TIA, Patrick
