1 Thanks Geert. This is encouraging then. Although the GTK version is
2 still not as robust as the other toolkit versions, the 21.4.x series has
3 progressed well in terms of GTK support. Well enough that I've used it
4 as my only xemacs since 21.4.4 (.3?). 21.4.6 scrollbars work fine, the
5 menu bar works fine, the widgets work okay (some subtle stuff in the
6 customization groups)...

8 21.4.6 is definitly superior to the forked 21.1.12_p3 version we
9 currently have. I look forward to sending what I have to bugs.gentoo
10 after a little more testing and possibly a README.Gentoo to explain what
11 to expect as a user.
