(Being generous about "obsolete"; some people -- including me -- just dislike the GTK+ look-and-feel, but that's not a fair standard for refusing to declare a stable release). But you'll have to get schedule from people actually interest However, "obviously obsoletes" is even so a pretty big barrier. AFAIK there are still big difficulties with the GTK+ event loop from the point of view of XEmacs. Nobody has yet implemented multi-server support over the GTK+ event loop in XEmacs AFAIK, for example. Also, GNU Emacs regularly has nasty bugs related to G-stuff. While currently it mostly has to do with glib bogosity that crops up because GNU has lots of stuff that requires glib even in an Xt-based Emacs and often they're long-since fixed/worked-around in their GTK+ build, XEmacs hasn't even started to deal with that stuff. _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://lists.xemacs.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
