I'm worried that this is because the behavior emacs' "dedicated" windows is a little flaky. I've experimented with it before and noticed some weirdnesses. It's been working for me perfectly in this context, though. I would hate to see this patch not go through, cause I'm totally addicted to this behavior at this point. What if we just added a warning to the help message for the customization variable that says the behavior with emacsclient might be a little flaky? Obviously people don't have to use this functionality, so in that sense it doesn't hurt anyone to have it there if they just don't use it, right? jamie.
