Hi, bug report here:

I am running
GNU Emacs 21.2.1
(i686-pc-Linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2002-05-12
(today downloaded and compiled)

I have configured my X windows to use KDE, and KDE uses very nice window
manager. All applications are affected by this, except emacs.

All applications running under my X have very nice menubar,
and every buttons and menus and scrollbars are affected by my window
decoration (iceWM), but emacs has very terrible menus and buttons and
scrollbar and everything :-( Very bad :-(

I think that this is a BUG.
I think that all applications under X should follow strictly my custom
window decoration, because when I select my decoration then
I wish to use it for all windows and for all applications.

And another bug:
In KDE I have menubar at the top of the screen (like in MAC OS)
and not in each window.
But emacs does not follow this and displays menubar
(File | Edit | Options | Buffers | Tools | Help)
in the emacs window, not on the top of my screen (monitor)


Is there any way how to force emacs to use my custom KDE settings?


Thank you

Regrads

It's hard to to understand what you're saying, but if I guess
correctly, you are wrong.

What do you mean by `custom window decoration'?  Do you mean the title
bar that the window manager puts on every window?  Or do you mean
scrollbars, buttons, etc., that are inside every application window?

If you mean the latter, then you're out of luck, because only KDE
applications will follow your KDE theme, and emacs is not a KDE
application.  Perhaps you're confused because you only use KDE
applications, except for emacs.

If you really mean the former (the window title bar), then it's a
problem with your window manager, not with emacs.

No.

Emacs is not a KDE application.

If you don't like the menubar, you can turn it off by saying
`M-x menu-bar-mode'.
