A couple of "strange things"
=== 1
I had to configure with "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure" to
avoid the following error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Compiling without PNG image support.
Reason: PNG library version and header file don't match!
WARNING: You should strongly consider installing the PNG libraries.
WARNING: Otherwise certain images and glyphs may not display.
WARNING: (a copy may be found in
ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/aux)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
- I'm using a fairly standard debian-hamm distribution.
- I have libpng-1.0.1 installed from debian
- I installed libpng-1.0.2 in /usr/local
- I did *not* remove the old lib (in/usr/lib) to keep dselect happy
Can someone divine what's wrong in my setup?

Some minibuffer prompts (ediff-directories prompt for the directories
to compare is a good example) flatly refuse to scroll when the end of
line is reached.
The cursor stays at the end of the line and I have either to type
blindly or enlarge the window to see whet I'm typing.
Minibuffer seems to know quite well there's something there and
correctly keeps track of typed chars (it even puts the right-arrow in
the last char if i put the cursor in some other window), but stays
anchored to the beginning of the string.
The cursor stays full (indicating not-at-end-of-line) and remains on
the last char of the line.
Blind insertion happens in "the right place" (not where the cursor is.
This is a partcular nuissance when You have long prompts.
This behaviour is present from several releases, I'm not sure when it
began.
Any idea?
