(As it turns out, these modes *are* modes that you can enable by setting the mode variables, so either pair of lines should work.) I don't see anything in your init file that should interfere with line/column number display. Did you build XEmacs yourself, or are you using a package from your OS distribution? What are the values of `modeline-format' and `modeline-position-status'?
