I have started seeing some strange X related behaviour in emacs. I have not been able to pin it down. It goes away when I run emacs -Q, but is still present when running emacs -q --no-init-file --nosplash.
The man page says:
-Q, --quick
Similar to "-q --no-site-file --no-splash". Also, avoid processing X resources.
What is the difference?
What does avoid processing X resources mean?
What does that tell me about my problem?
Q also uses --no-site-lisp. See the Emacs manual, node Initial Options.
For information about X resources, see node Resources.
Learn to ask Emacs: C-h r, then i and type some text to match an index entry, then TAB to see the matches, and choose one.
You can find i and other manual-browsing keys by doing C-h m in the manual. C-h m in any mode gives you information about that mode.
This man page is updated only when someone volunteers to do so.
