- "lmdrsm@lmd.ericsson.se (LMD/T/AM Roar Smith)" pointed out that the
- (sit-for 120) in startup.el will not terminate when the user selects a
- menu item. If the user selects a menu item while the startup message
- is shown, nothing will happen.
-
- This is the documentation of sit-for:
-
- sit-for: (n &optional nodisp)
- -- a built-in function.
- Perform redisplay, then wait for ARG seconds or until user input is
- available. ARG may be a float, meaning a fractional part of a second.
- Optional second arg non-nil means don't redisplay, just wait for input.
- Redisplay is preempted as always if user input arrives, and does not
- happen if input is available before it starts.
- Value is t if waited the full time with no input arriving.
-
- To me, selecting a menu *is* a user input. (If it isn't, which
- function should be used instead of sit-for?)
-
- BTW: Why does the info page (lemacs)Bugs not mention
- alt.lucid-emacs.help and alt.lucid-emacs.bug? In fact, they are not
- mentioned in the info pages at all.
