I tried vimpulse today and found it incompatible with emacs 23.0.60.1
I compiled by myself from cvs source last week.

The error message I get (with or without --debug-init) is "wrong-type
argument: symbolp, (my-get-emulation-keymap) and the error completely
paralyzed emacs.

I do notice that the notice you put in the comments about a similar
error, but deleting  'viper--key-maps doesn't work for me. I know very
little about lisp, but it seems that the culprit is
"viper-normalize-minor-mode-map-alist" just below
"my-get-emulation-keymap" but I don't know how to modify it. Do you
know what causes the error?

btw: the procedure I used in compiling cvs emacs can be found at

I tested vimpulse.el on my windows box with emacs compiled from July
14th cvs source.

My solution is to move the "viper-normalize-minor-mode-map-alist"
function to .emacs and all seems well. If I just remove the function,
cut/copy/paste doesn't work with visual mode.
