I'll look into this as soon as I can.  I don't use emacsclient, so I'll 
need some help.  Please give me step-by-step instructions for 
reproducing the problem, preferably starting with `emacs -Q'.  Tell me 
what happens and what should happen (with pointers to the documentation).

I think I recall relatively recent threads on the emacs-devel list about 
bugs in emacsclient.  So it's possible that the bug has been fixed for 
the upcoming release of emacs-24.1.

BTW, have either of you tried this on Linux to see if it behaves the way 
you expect?

Ken
