;; TODO and Known Issues:
;;
-;; * Add mouse actions - buttons - to multishell-list entries
-;; - see buf-menu.el, eg Buffer-menu-mouse-select
-;; * Resolve multishell-list sort glitches:
-;; - Fix config so multishell-list-revert-buffer-kludge is not needed
-;; - Make multishell-list-edit-entry in-place, so changed entries recency
-;; doesn't change.
-;; - Fill in kill-buffer prompting gaps, eg if default live-process
-;; prompts are inhibited.

;; Returning to disconnected remote shell - do some tidying.
- ;; Prevents an "Args out of range" failure when reconnecting.
+ ;; Without this cleanup, occasionally restarting a disconnected
+ ;; remote session, particularly one that includes sudo, results in
+ ;; an untraceable "Args out of range" error. That never happens if
+ ;; we precedeed connection attempts with this cleanup -
+ ;; prophylactic.
