10 Hello,
11
12 last time I checked out xemacs with gtk support is was not long ago, it
13 was already a 21.4.x. However is was considered experimental and really
14 didn't functional well. There were a lot of interface bugs amongst which
15 the lack of scrollbars for instance. If such an ebuild would be added,
16 it should be very well tested to check if it can be considered stable
17 for regular usage.
