Thanks, I'll try that on Monday when I'm back in at my workstation.  I 
am curious how it's working on my laptop, though, as I have no such 
envar set and can't find any mention of "emacs" in either the .gnome* 
subdirs (find ~/.gnome* -type f -exec grep -i emacs {} \; -print) or in 
gconf (with using find in gconf-editor -- well, I found something 
referencing emacsclient).  I wonder if there's another way to enable 
this behavior.

Thanks again,
pete
