Emacs does not start in a new frame.
If I'm in a terminal running Bash and enter $>emacs
the editor is opened inside this terminal, and produces exactly the same behavior as $>emacs -nw
. I have what I think is an OK DISPLAY
variable, :0
. If I try to start it using gmrun
outside of a terminal, nothing happens.
I'm using Xmonad as a window manager. I noticed something weird: if I invoke $> gmrun
from the command line in a window, I get the small window to type in the command. Entering emacs
and hitting enter causes emacs to open inside the terminal in which the gmrun
command was executed.
What configuration items would force emacs to start without creating a new frame?
