I read that and thought "Cool, there's another George playing w/ Gnome and FreeBSD. I'd completely forgotten that entire adventure. I'm not sure exactly how I resolved it at the time. These days I have a minimal .Xresources files that's -merged by xrdb from my .xinitrc. The only things in it are: xterm*ScrollBar: on xterm*SaveLines: 10000 XTerm*VT100*geometry: 80x35 XTerm*background: lightyellow2 ! xterm*VisualBell: true ! xterm.eightBitOutput: true I do all of my Xemacs configuration via the Options button in the toolbar, and or by hand hacking the resulting .xemacs/custom.el file. It seems to happen late enough in the process that things work out. Things seem to work, the only problem I experience regularly is that sawfish/gnome positition the xemacs window, *then* it sets my chosen font. Since my personal font is bigger, the window grows and it's right edge and/or bottom often extend off the screen. I just mouse up and move it around to suit. g.
