@vindex focus-follows-mouse
- On X, you may have to tell Emacs how the system (or the window
-manager) handles focus-switching between windows, in order for the
-command @kbd{C-x 5 o} (@code{other-frame}) to work properly.
-Unfortunately, there is no way for Emacs to detect this automatically,
-so you should set the variable @code{focus-follows-mouse}. If simply
-moving the mouse onto a window selects it and gives it focus, the
-variable should be @code{t}; if you have to click on the window to
-select it, the variable should be @code{nil}. The default is
-@code{t}.

The window manager that is part of MS-Windows always gives focus to
a frame that raises, so this variable has no effect in the native
edit the server buffers within Emacs, and they are @emph{not} killed
when you type @kbd{C-x #} in them.

-because older Windows systems made it hard to create files with such
-names, the Windows port of Emacs supports an alternative name
-@file{_emacs} as a fallback, if such a file exists in the home
-directory, whereas @file{.emacs} does not.

* Startup Changes in Emacs 24.1
+---
** The --unibyte, --multibyte, --no-multibyte, and --no-unibyte
command line arguments, and the EMACS_UNIBYTE environment variable, no
longer have any effect. (They were declared obsolete in Emacs 23.)
++++
** New command line option `--no-site-lisp' removes site-lisp directories
from load-path. -Q now implies this.
+---
** On Windows, Emacs now warns when the obsolete _emacs init file is used,
and also when HOME is set to C:\ by default.
** emacsclient changes
++++
*** New emacsclient argument --parent-id ID can be used to open a
client frame in parent X window ID, via XEmbed. This works like the
--parent-id argument to Emacs.
*** New emacsclient argument --frame-parameters can be used to set the
frame parameters of a newly-created graphical frame.
++++
*** If emacsclient shuts down as a result of Emacs signalling an
error, its exit status is 1.
** Completion
+
*** shell-mode uses pcomplete rules, with the standard completion UI.
*** Many packages have been changed to use completion-at-point rather than
** The standalone program `fakemail' has been removed.
If you need it, feedmail.el ought to provide a superset of the functionality.
++++
** The variable `focus-follows-mouse' now always defaults to nil.
** New primitive `secure-hash' that supports many secure hash algorithms
