Did you run M-x server-start (I think) in your existing session?

This might be a bug in the Code Fusion code.  In buffers loaded from
Source Navigator, the "M-." binding is overridden to query S-N rather
than use the standard tags files.  You can verify this by typing "C-h
c M-." -- it *shouldn't* print "find-tag".

I guess you did do it then.  Hmm.  Does it work when you run gnuclient
by hand?  If so then I would suspect another bug in the S-N/Emacs
integration.

You really should report Code Fusion and Source Navigator bugs to
Cygnus.  I don't work on S-N any more, and my answers are just stabs
in the dark.  The real S-N hackers might have real answers.
