 Why the hell does XEmacs still draw multiple 'windows' on top
of a
 single X or MS window?  Wouldn't life be much simpler if each emacs
 window was a real window in the window system?  Then you could use
 sane geometry management to pack things, and use real paner widgets
 between them instead of emulating them ourselves in lisp, etc, etc. 
Good question -- I always wondered about that myself.

Maybe parts of the code were inherited from FSF Emacs or Epoch or
early Lucid, or simply badly written?
