I believe the build scripts take care of rebuilding the autoloads. Just now I ran 'make autoloads', but it didn't change anything. ...and there is no mention of the string 'xpm' in any of the lisp/auto* files. OK. I built up a 21.1.7 without any packages, and xpm-button-create does not get defined until I load-library xpm-button. These lines appear in xpm-button.el: ;;;###autoload (defun xpm-button-create (text shadow-thickness fg-color bg-color) Meanwhile, in my package-less XEmacs, I can still use the toolbar (at least to cut text). What was the bug that I was trying to address by copying xpm-button.el to the lisp directory? I don't get it.
