[Mageia-discuss] xemacs on cauldron

[Juergen Harms]

Since quite some time I have a problem with xemacs on cauldron:

My site initialisation file does a check to detect if xemacs is runs as 
root. As a function of the result, the background is set to one of two 
different colours.

That has worked for something like 30 years on a lots of different 
nixes. Now - and at random, works one time, another time not: the test 
on user-id and the setting of the colour fail. (And: the rest of xemacs 
appears to work as it should).

Has anybody seen a similar problem?

I will try to do some digging into the initialisation file - but would 
like to have some more input. Above all, this random element is intreaguing.
