Better yet, try Katsumi's patch in this thread. You need to (1) patch or hand-edit the two files, (2) then do M-x byte-compile-and-load-file on each one, and you can test in a running XEmacs. Note that those files are dumped (IIRC); to get your XEmacs executable to reuse them, redump by removing xemacs.dmp (if you use --pdump) or xemacs(.exe) (if not) and running make. If that doesn't work, then you can try to isolate the patch using the "build different XEmacs going backward until it works" method (you can also use the -D ISODATE flag to cvs update). Don't do any more builds than you need to get a working XEmacs reasonably current for you; we've already got it down to "patches in (probably late) July". The constraint now is developer time to look at it, not information about the problem. :-( -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
