Subject: org-protocol and missing server-delete-client function

Hi --
I'm a simple guy, not a coder, and only a little emacs-savvy. However,
this post might save some people some frustration. (And it might prompt
someone more emacs-savvy than I to teach me something.)
I faced a challenge getting org-protocol to work.
I'm running the latest org-mode from git on a Fedora 10 box. Emacs
version 22.3.1. I set up for org-protocol in emacs and in firefox
(following the instructions at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php). Then when I
tried to execute the org-protocol-remember handler, emacs pitched back
this error message:
***
error in process filter: symbol's function definition is void:
server-delete-client
***
I looked in server.el, and didn't find server-delete-client defined
there. I found a copy of server.el for emacs 23 online at
http://zchan.homeunix.net/pub/Nevada.APP/Build/emacs-23.0.60/lisp/server.el/server.
It includes this definition of server-delete-client:
***
(defun server-delete-client (proc &optional noframe)
"Delete CLIENT, including its buffers, terminals and frames.
If NOFRAME is non-nil, let the frames live. (To be used from
`delete-frame-functions'.)"
(server-log (concat "server-delete-client" (if noframe " noframe"))
proc)
;; Force a new lookup of client (prevents infinite recursion).
(when (memq proc server-clients)
(let ((buffers (process-get proc 'buffers)))
;; Kill the client's buffers.
(dolist (buf buffers)
(when (buffer-live-p buf)
(with-current-buffer buf
;; Kill the buffer if necessary.
(when (and (equal server-buffer-clients
(list proc))
(or (and server-kill-new-buffers
(not server-existing-buffer))
(server-temp-file-p))
(not (buffer-modified-p)))
(let (flag)
(unwind-protect
(progn (setq server-buffer-clients nil)
(kill-buffer (current-buffer))
(setq flag t))
(unless flag
;; Restore clients if user pressed C-g in
`kill-buffer'. (setq server-buffer-clients (list proc)))))))))
;; Delete the client's frames.
(unless noframe
(dolist (frame (frame-list))
(when (and (frame-live-p frame)
(equal proc (frame-parameter frame 'client)))
;; Prevent `server-handle-delete-frame' from calling us
;; recursively.
(set-frame-parameter frame 'client nil)
(delete-frame frame))))
(setq server-clients (delq proc server-clients))
;; Delete the client's tty.
(let ((terminal (process-get proc 'terminal)))
;; Only delete the terminal if it is non-nil.
(when (and terminal (eq (terminal-live-p terminal) t))
(delete-terminal terminal)))
;; Delete the client's process.
(if (eq (process-status proc) 'open)
(delete-process proc))
(server-log "Deleted" proc))))
***
When I add this definition to my config files and reload, then
org-protocol-remember works as expected.
Surely there are still others using emacs 22.3? Is there another way
around this (short of upgrading to emacs 23 -- I might do that, but I'm
so swamped with other things right now and I know so little about
what I'm doing that I don't want to move on that yet)?
