Subject: 23.1.50; Emacs --daemon resets mac-command-modifier on Mac
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:15:10 +0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am a Mac user, and I want my Command key to be used as Alt in Emacs,
so in .emacs, I (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta).
It works well when Emacs is launched as a stand-alone
application. However, when I use Emacs as a daemon server with
"--daemon" and then connect to it using "emacsclient -c", I find the
mac-command-modifier is reset to its initial value 'super.

Thanks for the bug report.  I've just checked in a fix.
