OK, since I do most of the X maint for gnuemacs, here's the scoop: 1) Gnuemacs accepts most of the standard X arguments, including font, geometry (except that the geometry spec requires a -w to precede it), display (except that -d is needed to set it off). You can't specify mouse bitmap, but that isn't a terribly standard feature in X programs either. 2) In the past few days, I've hacked the X interface to make emacs appear to start up much faster, by processing command line arguments for X in C. 3) RMS does in fact support the X code. The X code is part of the standard release, the only thing is that HAVE_X_WINDOWS is not #defined in config.h.dist. -- Robert^Z

Has anyone successfully run GNU emacs as an X window system client on an
IBM RT (running BSD 4.2, release 2)?
I brought up version 18.32 as a plain non-X client just fine. However, when
I define HAVE_X_WINDOWS, I have problems. Emacs compiles, and xemacs is
dumped, but when I run the new xemacs (from an X xterm window), nothing
happens. No window, no nothing. Control-C won't kill it, but a Control-Z
will stop it. Any ideas?

References:
I recently got the 18.37-18.38 diffs and applied them on my machine.
I ran into trouble during compilation. The symbol XMenuCreate and the
constants XM_FAILURE, XM_SUCCESS, XM_IA_SUCCESS and XM_NO_SUCCESS are
not defined. (They are referenced in xmenu.c, a new module in 18.38.)
These symbols/constants are not defined in my version of <X/XMenu.h>.
I am running Ultrix 1.2 on a Vax-GPX. I would appreciate hearing from
anyone that has overcome this problem. In the meantime, I will have
to build 18.38 without X support, or go back to 18.37.
