From: Dave Abrahams <dave <at> boostpro.com> To: 22621 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#22621: 24.5; Wishlist: automatically start second Gnus session as a slave Date: Wed, 10 Feb 2016 12:53:00 -0800
I asked: The Gnus manual says you can get trouble by starting two non-slave Gnusae at once: [[info:gnus#Slave%20Gnusae][info:gnus#Slave Gnusae]] So, shouldn't `M-x gnus' automatically dispatch to `gnus-slave' in that case? In <87d1s6ecwa.fsf <at> gnus.org>, Lars replied: I haven't used the Gnus slave in decades. :-) But I think you're right -- Gnus should start in slave mode if it manages to detect another non-slave Gnus running. Could you report this with `M-x report-emacs-bug' as a wishlist item?
