Re: [Q] Re: [PATCH] Prefer XEmacs as X11 application class and as default frame name

My point is that discussing BRANDING_IS_FOR_THE_INSECURE on #emacs,
#xemacs, comp.emacs, etc. will just trigger confrontation.
I’m not sure why; when and if the patch is applied, it will be in a large
measure to strengthen XEmacs’ branding. If someone doesn’t the environment
variable name as self-deprecating in that context, they need to look a
little closer.

How about XEMACS_USES_EMACS_FRAME_NAME which even has 28 characters too
:-)
It ignores that the environment variable affects the application class of
XEmacs, as well as its frame name, and it’s the application class that
will affect people’s X resources.
