Was it intentional that with the ediff 1.08 XEmacs package that
highlighting is now off by default? (I do get some fine
highlighting nevertheless but the text markers are UGLY).
The relavant diffs seem to be (ediff-init.el):
-(ediff-defvar-local ediff-use-faces t
+(ediff-defvar-local ediff-use-faces nil "")
+(defcustom ediff-use-faces t
"If t, differences are highlighted using faces, if device supports faces.
-(ediff-defvar-local ediff-highlight-all-diffs t
+(ediff-defvar-local ediff-highlight-all-diffs nil "")
+(defcustom ediff-highlight-all-diffs t
"If nil, only the selected differences are highlighted.
