In fact the fact that nobody upto know seems to have noticed that we are still using it looks to me like it isn't that broken :-). The major version jump would have been a good time to do it alas. Jan P.S. My .emacs looks like (if (< emacs-major-version 20) (load (expand-file-name "~/.emacs.19")) (setq user-init-directory "~/.xemacs") (setq custom-file "~/.xemacs/options.el") ;; (packages-find-packages '("/u/scratch/jvsoft/beta/lib/xemacs/packages") nil t) (load "~/.xemacs/init") (load "~/.xemacs/options.el"))

Sorry. Too bad. Let me summarize: in that case, we read ~/.emacs, and what is the custom file ? There's an issue here regarding the customization of the options menu, and the possible function we may provide to convert the former .xemacs-options -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.

Try M-x find-function RET load-user-init-file RET `load-user-init-file' is a compiled Lisp function -- loaded from "/scratch/vroonhof/cvs/xemacs-20/lisp/startup.elc" (load-user-init-file INIT-FILE-USER) Documentation: This function actually reads the init files.

That's exactly the kind of things that worried me :-/

Now that we're supposed to clean things up, let's arise some questions again: - What's the status of the .xemacs directory for 21.0 ? I'd be sad if it's not gonna make it. - Sorry but I still think that this mess about the application class is *evil* *Evil* *EVIL* __EVIL__. We can't possibly be the only app in the whole universe to decide dynamically on the Xt class, and pretend we're right. There're already so many things confusing people about X resources. Let's not add one more. - Sorry again ;-) but I still think that the modeline shouldn't have the same default as the default face, and shouldn't be affected by the -bg option. Although not implemented exactly this way, the modeline *is* a widget and should look like the menubar, the scrollbars and the dividers by default. Enough ranting for the day. -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T. INF C214 mailto:verna＠inf.enst.fr /_/ / /_/ / /__ / 46 rue Barrault Tel.
