Re: Python mode failures with xemacs (Mats Lidell)

They are ubiquitous in Emacs. Commonly the menu entry shows a brief
menuish catchword (like "Highlight Active Region") whereas the
mouse-over help gives a brief summary and the Emacs term, like "Make
text in active region stand out in color (Transient Mark mode)".
This makes it easier to make the menus appeal to GUI fetishists (the
menu terms use GUI speak like Cut, Copy, Paste) while still having the
proper terms for people getting work done with Emacs (kill/copy/yank).
That does sound useful, although I haven't really noticed a huge surge
of folks who *use* GUI (instead of *writing* them!) contributing to
emacs-devel (except Drew Adams, of course ;-).
