Re: [Evolution] External editor plugin 2.22.1



another point that may be an issue...

in 
async_external_editor(...)
g_spawn_sync(...) is used to launch the external editor
this is designed to wait for the external editor to exit, then take the
external editor input and open a composer window with the input in the
proper fields.  Using "gvim", per instructions, will not work -- as gvim
forks and returns immediately, resulting in an empty composer window
being opened prior to composing the email in gvim.  gvim can be started
with the -f/--nofork option to prevent forking, however this results in
an issue with the external editor plugin code...

** (evolution:4010): WARNING **: Unable to launch gvim -f: 
Xlib: unexpected async reply (sequence 0x7f5d)!


not sure if xemacs forks ala gvim....
