XEmacs is behaving correctly here. The mode *variables* are internal,
and are not intended to be set by users. If setting them works to
control any given mode, that's just luck. To turn on modes in
init.el, use the *functions*
(column-number-mode 1)
(line-number-mode 1)
(turn them off with `(column-number-mode -1)', etc). Alternatively,
try M-x customize-variable line-number-mode (and ditto for
column-number-mode). Does that work for you?
which *should* work (without restarting XEmacs) because
customize-variable *should* know that these are mode variables and set
things up correctly for you. If it doesn't work I would consider that
a bug in the defcustom declarations.
Finally, you should be able to set the option by using the Options
menu: Options -> Display -> Line Numbers and similarly for Column
Numbers.
