So, two questions here: That is correct. The problem lies with which toolkit emacs uses. The functionality you want is the Athena toolkit. I believe that, by default, emacs21 uses Motif. The only way I know of to change this functionality is to compile your own version. > - I believe that there must be many long term Debian/Emacs users > hate that Windowish scrollbar too.

However, being a long term Debian/Emacs user, I can say that I don't scroll with the mouse anyway, so it's not much of an issue for me. :) Ctrl-V works just fine for me. :) > I don't know debian too well, and I don't know I should report it > as a bug or I've done something wrong. Can anyone check for me? You can file it as a bug, but it would have to be filed as a "wishlist" item. And I doubt it's one that would ever get resolved. If you REALLY need this functionality and you can't get the Debian package version to build properly, you can always just build a copy of emacs from scratch and install it in /usr/local. Unfortunately, I don't know all that much about the package build process, so I'm afraid I can't be of much help in troubleshooting the build error you're getting, but hopefully someone else can help. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
