i'm using "XEmacs 21.5 (beta6) \"bok choi\" [Lucid] (i686-pc-linux) of
Fri Apr 26 2002 on localhost"
i tried to turn on the buffer tabs feature, but to no avail... is it
possible that buffer tabs were disabled on X builds, as i vaguely
remember?

I think you need to build --with-widgets. I would like to get to the bottom
of why this is necessary now. I'm currently fixing the 21.4 lossage that
someone screwed up.

I wouldn't bother with 21.4 if I were you. The reason things are
screwed up now is undoubtedly that I put in some patches for people
(one was Alexei Mahotkin, I forget the other offhand) who said they
simply could not build their prefrred config in their environment
(athena was getting pulled in whether or not they wanted it in one
case), and I couldn't find a way either.
So unless you're repairing a similarly wedged situation, I'm not going
to be real happy about making any changes to the ./configure. That
whole area needs a complete rewrite, and I doubt I'm going to let that
through, either.
Currently I have not heard of anyone who cannot get XEmacs configured
and built with --with-widgets=<toolkit>, and if toolkit==athena, they
pretty much must specify --with-athena=<flavor> as well.
As long as giving the proper incantations leads to a build, it's good
enough for me.

Right, but they screwed up my build environment in the process. I have fixed
the obvious lossage without changing the current behaviour for other
configurations (when you try and configure msw with x). However, I would
like to get to the bottom of this given that Daniel spent so much time on
the configure options for athena.
So unless you're repairing a similarly wedged situation, I'm

to be real happy about making any changes to the ./configure. That
whole area needs a complete rewrite, and I doubt I'm going to let that
through, either.
The 2.5.x changes seem legitimate to me also. Especially as 2.5 is the only
thing available under cygwin now.

I saw that. Sorry, -patches comes after -beta in my *Groups* buffer.

Huh? What does that mean?
