Just reading the documentation it looks as though using "mike-indirect-buffer" instead of "clone-indirect-buffer" will permit one to set all the modal properties of the new buffer independently, though it may be frustrating to address the indirect bufffer in a function called from the first buffer (maybe not, though?). cf. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Indirect-Buffers.html and http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IndirectBuffers > > But perhaps I'm looking for different features than you are.
