This is IMO correct -- you shouldn't be able to attach a `pointer' glyph to an extent. Steve vetoed the patch for 21.2, but I find his rationale unsatisfactory.

I had 1.34 for installed still. The upgrade to 1.37 today gives me all the features I want. And cvs-checkout works for remote repositories now!

First, my window manager (ctwm-3.5 under X11/solaris-2.6) thinks that the size of XEmacs keeps the same (86x56) whereas the height is actually shorter. (list (window-width) (window-height)) has changed from (86 56) to (81 56). Second, after using M-x ediff-toggle-use-toolbar M-x ediff-buffers Quit Ediff session my XEmacs frame gets wider (list (window-width) (window-height)) => (86 56). - Christoph

Telnet package 25 years, 10 months

In XEmacs 21, 'M-x telnet' no longer works; is there a package containing this functionality, which I must download (I couldn't find anything on 'ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/packages/')? -- KRISTIAN ELLINGSEN, +47 905 13 552 http://ellingsen.home.ml.org/ http://home.telia.no/~kellings/ mailto:kellings＠online.no --A penny saved is a penny taxed.--

I think the solution is to not the version control stuff if vc-hooks is not loaded. The other alternative would be to make vc-hooks less obnoxious but it is difficult since it was not written to be enabled in mid flight. (Although that is currently exactly what happens when the VC menu is accessed first). Jan

I recommend someone try building just unexelf.c with egcs-1.0, and the rest with egcs-1.1.1.
