22 ;; X-win.el: this file is loaded from ../lisp/startup.el when it recognizes
23 ;; that X windows are to be used. Command line switches are parsed and those
24 ;; pertaining to X are processed and removed from the command line. The
25 ;; X display is opened and hooks are set for popping up the initial window.
27 ;; startup.el will then examine startup files, and eventually call the hooks
28 ;; which create the first window (s).
