Cannot have X11 emacs/emacsclient window as scratchpad in xmonad
- State "KNOWNCAUSE" from "BUG" [2014-11-07 Fri 02:53] \\
This is due to the fact that in xmonad I am unable to locate a particular emacs frame (X11
window). This is because emacs' frames change there names dynamically and all have the same
resource name, thus there's no way to locate them.

This is an issue. Emacs in terminal is nice but it's preferred to use a X11 instance when possible.

Approximately coincides with the release of emacs 24.4, Though some
changes for the emacs 24.4 upgrade are not yet completed; specifically:
* replace w3m with the now built in eww
* no need to enable electric-indent-mode since it is now enabled by
default
* other things that I don't know about yet ...
Now the main changes are as follows:
* Use .emacs.d/init.el for emacs start-up file instead of .emacs; this
new init file is much shorter in summary does the following:
- auto-loads packages installed using package.el using the
package-initialize function
- adds .emacs.d/site-lisp-extra to the load-path
- sets a few variables and functions and then recursively loads all
.el files in .emacs.d/config
- contains all variables set by customize at the end of the file
* All other configuration is written to files with appropriate names in
.emacs.d/config; currently the concatenation of these files is the same
as the .emacs in the last commit not including the sexp's that went
into .emacs.d/init.el
Things that remain the same but are no less important to mention in
regards to the setup of this emacs configuration:
* custom themes are stored in .emacs.d/themes
* custom yasnippets are stored in .emacs.d/snippets
* templates (used by .emacs.d/config/insert-templates.el to insert a
comment at the beginning of certain files using auto-insert-mode) are
located at .emacs.d/templates
Note: I've been considering depreciating the use of auto-insert-mode
to insert content into new files and instead use yasnippets.
Further though is required.
