emacs kill-ring-save question
Hello,

We've just upgraded to a newer version of emacs (21.3.1) and I've noticed something pretty annoying... Whenever you do a kill-ring-save, the cursor pops to where the mark was set, pauses a second, then pops back again.

This obviously doesn't sound like very much, but it really slows things down if you're running inside a macro. A second pause per iteration of the macro will make running the macro 1000 times take 1000 seconds!

Has anyone ever seen this and more to the point, know how to prevent it?

Cheers
Iain

gnome-session-save

GNOME-SESSION-SAVE(1)					      General Commands Manual					     GNOME-SESSION-SAVE(1)

NAME

       gnome-session-save - Saves or ends the current GNOME session

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-session-save [--logout] [--force-logout] [--logout-dialog] [--shutdown-dialog] [--gui] [--kill [--silent]]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-session-save  can	be used from a GNOME session to save a snapshot of the currently running applications.	This session will be later
       restored at your next GNOME session.

       The --gui option will report errors in dialog boxes instead of printing to stderr.

       If called with the --logout option, the current GNOME session will be ended, unless logging out has been inhibited by an application.   The
       --force-logout option can be used to end the session regardless of the inhibition state.

       When  the  --logout-dialog  option  is given, the standard dialog displaying logout options is displayed.  When --shutdown-dialog option is
       given, the standard dialog displaying shutdown options is displayed.

       The --kill and --silent options are deprecated.	The --kill option is equivalent to the --logout-dialog option.	If --silent is	used  with
       --kill, then it will behave as if --logout was used.

       The session is not saved when gnome-session-save is called with any of the options ending the session.
