Anyone want to take a stab at making the XEmacs splash screen as sexy as
the new FSF one? :) You can't really tell from this screenshot, but the
bit about 'useful files menu items' actually rotates thru 5 or 6 different
blurbs about different things.
There is also a killer new 'zone' package that provides screensavers for
emacs buffers. Truly bizarre.

What I can infer from the screen shot is that they have pixel-unit
tabbing. We should give Darryl Okahata more support and
encouragement!

I thought they couldn't use anything that XEmacs pioneered? :-P

Say what? I've got nothing to do with the new GNU Emacs splash
screen, although I wouldn't mind helping to "spiffy up the XEmacs GUI".

Oh. I thought <200009222256.PAA23840(a)mina.soco.agilent.com> "[EXP]
Getting the pixel position of a window point" was aiming in this
direction?

No, but I suppose it could be of assistance for that.

It dosn't look like an Emacs splash screen, it looks like a Gnus
splash screen. The logo is even supposed to _spell_ Gnus, although it
requires some imagination.
