I've built up a huge library of .emacs customizations over the years by getting little bits and pieces from others. I'm just starting with Conkeror but the fact that...

I have an ActiveX control that works fine in Internet Explorer and the ActiveX Control Test Container program. The actual behavior of the control is split in two parts, where one part is the ATL gunk that interfaces with the OLE host, and the other part is the real meat, which just receives callbacks for window attach, sizing, drawing an...
