everytime you open a file you get to see the GNU adds

[Han Boetes]

Everytime you open a file you get to see this GNU add:

``For information about the GNU Project and its goals, type C-h C-p.''

Now I'm a big GNU fan and all, but the ever reoccuring add at
startup is not really pleasant.

Karoly, could you be so kind to make it only occur on first
startup?

Add this to your '.emacs'.

(setq inhibit-startup-message t)

Nah, that's already set.

Further unquoted messages will remain unanswered.

Ah, I see `inhibit-startup-echo-area-message' fails to work as intended.
I think I fixed this in patch-533; could you please confirm?

It works for me. Do you have customized
`inhibit-startup-echo-area-message'? Simply setting it to t will not
work.

No, I also tried (setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "han") as
according to the instructions, but that also didn't help.

Actually I'd expect that not configuring it at all would suffice.

You'll have to put that in ~/.emacs. It's silly, I know.

We can bring that up on emacs-devel after the merge. Judging by the
above idiocy, it's a sensitive issue.

I did. Like this:

(setq inhibit-default-init 1
inhibit-startup-message 1
inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "han")

And that doesn't do the trick.

Now I got it like this:

(setq inhibit-default-init 1
inhibit-startup-message 1)
(setq inhibit-startup-echo-area-message "han")

And that does do the trick!

You don't need a chrystal ball for that. :-}
