that's right. (but it isn't really unstable :)

i tried to avoid to install non-.deb packed programs. even i know (and
tested) it works well (having 2 xemacs'es).
Ah, so this is the .deb you've installed? For some reason I thought
you were compiling it yourself (especially as I can't find it in the
standard unstable package list).

installed "as" xaw? i don't know.

I don't think this is the problem in this case.

can i check this? where can i read about this?
If you look in the xemacs-beta archives it's described there. Don't
worry about it, your XEmacs is not suffering from that problem, mine
was.
sorry, by xemacs has no symbol table compiled in. i have to rebuild
it: the only one i'd done was "cvs-status" and input the repository

Whee! I can reproduce this, and it's the progress gauge falling
over. Andy, is there any useful info I can give you here?
There are two workarounds:
1. put (setq progress-feedback-use-echo-area t) in your .emacs file.
2. Install lesstif and lesstif-dev and recompile XEmacs
ps: lots of thanks for your fast response.
That's what we're paid for ;-)
