Ah, OK. Just uncomment the menubar*FontSet part. If --with-xfs=no,
XEmacs totally ignores FontSet resources. If --with-xfs=yes, XEmacs
prefers the FontSet resource, then falls back to the Font resource.
Ie, the #ifdef'ing is done by XEmacs resource management. ;-)
Allright, neat. The patch has just appeared in xemacs-patches.

It's not the sanity of their XEmacs that's at issue. Although I rant
about them and Mandrake, it's free software. They can and should do
what they like---as long as they don't ask _us_ to support _their_ users.
Agreed, but I'm afraid they don't have to ask. At least some of their
users will just ask us directly :/ We benefit from distros providing
better XEmacsen too.
