Hi Bojan, =20

if you're using Emacs Live, then it turns off all the windows and other c=
lutter as it's just a pain and a distraction. You should get to grips wit=
h using Emacs from the keyboard as much as possible, the M-x fuzzy comple=
tion is so much easier and quicker to use than any hierarchical window sy=
stem once you get used to it.
