Bah, forgot version information.... In XEmacs 21.2 (beta32) "Kastor & Polydeukes" [Lucid] (sparc-sun-solaris2.7) of Fri Mar 24 2000 on rhea configured using `configure --prefix=/export/users/hamishm/xemacs --site-prefixes=/export/users/hamishm/gnome:/export/users/hamishm' I CVS-upped at about 10:10am EST this morning. I was seeing this problem with a version from the 21st of March also. If I execute the following code in a vanilla xemacs, the message-mode toolbar is incorrectly rendered. "C-l" (recenter) doesn't solve the problem, but getting any X-based refresh to run ("xrefresh", iconifying/uniconifying, hide/expose window fixes the display. It looks like the portion of the toolbar, corresponding to where the gutter/tabs were, is not drawn. (set-specifier default-toolbar nil) (setq mail-user-agent 'message-user-agent) (compose-mail) Here is what it looks like: Regards, Hamish.
