I had NeXt-style scrollbars (and other visual features) working just
fine on my system at home (woody) up until last night when things
changed after an "apt-get upgrade". On a potato system at work, things
are still fine.

I followed these steps to get NeXt-syle visual features on X-apps:

(1) apt-get install nextawg
(2) make /usr/X11R6/lib/neXtaw the first line in /etc/ld.so.conf
(3) make sure that the following line in /etc/X11/Xresources/nextaw is
    uncommented:

      #define USE_NEXTAW_RESOURCES 1

For XEmacs, I had to compile (actually ./configure) Xemacs with the
following two flags:

  --with-scrollbars=athena --with-dialogs=athena

and XEmacs would use NeXt style scrollbars. However, since last night's
upgrade they aren't working.
