OK. I run "xemacs21 -vanilla". Then "(setq

Symbol's value as variable is void: mouse-avoidance-mode-line-string
Seems to be a problem with setting the var rather than customizing,
but is still a bug?
If we add an autoload cookie for `mouse-avoidance-mode-line-string'
then we wont see the error.
However, (setq mouse-avoidance-mode 'banish) is wrong because it
doesn't call the mouse-avoidance-mode function so the user doesn't
get any mouse-avoidance functionality.
