Mats, I’ve seen your error. It’s because the configure script built without
GTK support, only with X support (check its output), and Jeff’s changes
haven’t been sufficiently tested in that context. Update to a more recent
version of his code (especially, one with my changes to configure.ac and
configure) and things should work better.

Jeff, I still need at least this to get things close to running:

With this and with the most recent Mercurial version, XEmacs creates a
frame, but this constantly resizes, making itself smaller, until finally
only the menubar is visible. This is unusable.

is what that build prints to standard error and standard output.
