 THINGS TO DO

+** `tool-bar-mode', `scroll-bar-mode', `menu-bar-mode' and
+   'fringe-mode' are modes global to the entire Emacs session, not
+   just a single frame or a single terminal.  This means that their
+   status sometimes differs from what's actually displayed on the
+   screen.  As a consequence, the Options | Show/Hide menu sometimes
+   shows incorrect status, and you have to select an option twice for
+   it to have any visible effect on the current frame.
+
+   Change Emacs so that the status of the items in the Options |
+   Show/Hide menu correspond to the current frame.
+
+** emacsclient -t on the console does not work after su:
+
+       # su lorentey
+       $ emacsclient -t
+       *ERROR*: Could not open file: /dev/tty1
+
+   The tty can be opened as /dev/tty by emacsclient, but not by Emacs.
+   This seems to be a serious problem.  Currently my only idea is to
+   bring back the ugly pty proxy hack from the initial versions of
+   multi-tty.  Suggestions would be appreciated.

 ** Understand how `quit_throw_to_read_char' works, and fix any bugs
    that come to light.
