If you're interested, help would be welcome with this:

xemacs-21.5.28-11.fc11 reportedly crashes at startup in GUI mode.  
xemacs-21.5.28-12.fc11 doesn't but outputs string to fontset conversion 
warnings.  The only difference between -11.fc11 and -12.fc11 is that the 
former is built --with-xfs, ther latter not as an immediate band-aid to get a 
startable XEmacs in the hands of Rawhide users.  (-12.fc11 can be rebuilt 
with XFontSet support using "--with xfs" rpmbuild/mock option.)

Some info later received in the bug indicates that at least some of this might 
be an issue in or caused by the newly introduced libX11 1.2.

Thanks in advance!
