Off the http://www.xemacs.org/ page there is a link to Bill P's site

status is?
Les Schaffer has a page dedicated to fixing some GTK XEmacs bugs:
http://folks.astrian.net/godzilla/gtk-bugs.html
If it is worthwhile to maintain a page of known issues and
workarounds, yet no-one else wants to do it, then I volunteer.
I'm considering switching from Athena to GTK. I'm just not
sure
what isn't going to work right.
Setting gutter-buffers-tab-visible-p to nil in my custom-set-variables
form was about the only thing I've set because of GTK. There are
occaisional glitches in redisplay, but they are very minor. Hmm.
I've just noticed visible bell isn't.
Ultimately, the best way to find out what doesn't work right is to try
it.
On a related note, is there a bug list for xemacs? The main site
has a "search for problems" that just points to this list. Would
setting up something like bugzilla be usefull?
That's a good idea. I think simply having seperate bug-reporting
lists would be useful too (eg: xemacs-bugs and xemacs-beta-bugs).
