[ESS] no gnuclient

[Fredrik Lundgren]

Thanks again,

(setq gnuserv-frame (selected-frame))
makes the frame open within Xemacs in linux

Xemacs complains over 'where'
in
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat where "emacs/gnuserv"))
which line isn't accepted by Xemacs in linux (or windows xp).

fix(k) opens the window 6b8b4567  where k can be editted
but when C-x # attempts to save I get
'6b8b4567 does not belong to gnuserv client'
In this case the line
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat where "emacs/gnuserv"))
was commented in init.el to make Xemacs run
