It's a matter of priorities. I have to work on functionality first. I
worry about looks when I have the time. Right now that isn't on my
priority list. Also, that's an old screen shot. I'm now using KDE as
the desk top manager with FVWM as the window manager. I haven't had
the time to tweak the two so they work better together, but for now
they're doing what I need. (kicker isn't showing all the active
programs or desktops)

Well, sort of not really. I have extensive modifications, most of which
are in various files in ~/lisp. When I installed xemacs on this box, I
first copied all my configuration files over from the other server. On
installing xemacs, it stated that it wanted to make some changes
regarding moving configuration files from ~/ to ~/.xemacs, which I
agreed to. init.el reads:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/home/glenlee")
(if (string-match "XEmacs" emacs-version) ; compares "Xemacs" with
results of emacs-version
(setq custom-file ".xemacs.conf") ; if "true" custom file
becomes .xemacs.conf
(setq custom-file ".emacs.conf")) ; if "false" custom file
becomes .emacs.conf - odd way of doing if - else.
(load custom-file)
which is word for word what .emacs used to read. It's doing a pretty
good job of pulling most of my configuration options. But some seem to
have mysteriously disappeared. Unfortunately there are so many things
I'm currently trying to fix on this box that I haven't had time to try
to do a step by step check of what's going wrong where with xemacs.

Sweet! That's what I was looking for! Is there a resource somewhere
that gives an exhaustive list of the object model X uses?

Figures,
Thanks, Glyn.
