This fix is already in the GNU Emacs codeline. Also, your line

are very different from mine. What version of forms.el are you using?
Can you sync with the GNU Emacs codeline?
The version I have from the XEmacs CVS tree is 2.10.

This will work, but wouldn't it be better to change to

I fixed that, as well as a few other minor things (like the use of
setq instead of add-hook/remove-hook for adding/removing hooks). I
grabbed the latest version from the GNU machines (2.37) and I have
re-ported the XEmacs specific changes from 2.10 to 2.37.
It would be very helpful if Johan could double-check the changes I've
made and integrate them in his version of forms.el, so that further
syncs with GNU Emacs would be easier.
I've tried to unify the use of
forms-use-extents
forms-use-text-properties
to hide somehow the differences between GNU Emacs and XEmacs.
These variables are now computed as before _only_ if
forms-use-colors (for the lack of a better name)
is set to t. So, forms.el will use extents or text properties
(depending on the Emacs version) only if this is t.
I'll send a patch against 2.10 to xemacs-beta and one against 2.37
to Johan.
Thanks,
