Okay, then you probably had regular font-lock support for latex-mode on,
rather than font-latex which needs to be explicitely enabled.
You had probably enabled font-locking in general from the `Options'
entry in the menu-bar and somehow deleted your ~/.xemacs-options file.

Good question, I don't know the answer. I think some recent work has been
done to work out how to better package XEmacs and friends, but I don't use
it very often and haven't followed that much. Perhaps someone else can
jump in here.
