Subject: bug#7975: 23.2; emacsclient and first "C-c ..." command

From: Nicolas Dudebout <[email-masked]>

When launchin emacsclient right after starting emacs daemon,
mode specific commands (i.e. commands starting by C-c) do not work.
However, after you execute any command it works normally.

"any command" can be:
- a failed C-c command
- or anything else like C-n

Here are 3 examples to show what is happening. Each example starts from
emacs not running.

Example 1:
$ emacs -Q --daemon
$ emacsclient foo.py
"C-c C-c" -> "C-c C-c undefined"
"C-c C-c" does work

Example 2:
$ emacs -Q --daemon
$ emacsclient bar.c
"C-c C-n" -> "C-c C-n undefined"
"C-c C-n" does work

Example 3:
$ emacs -Q --daemon
$ emacsclient bar.c
"C-n"
"C-c C-n" does work

Regards,

Nicolas
