Subject: switching from emacs to xemacs

Hi,
after years using emacs, I finally started to switch to xemacs. Some
things don't work as expected though:
1. Starting an inferior-scheme (guile) process leaves me with a buffer
showing the right prompt, but no connection to the process (typing an
expression and hitting return doesn't show any result from the scheme
process). I tried the follwing lines in my .xemacs/init.el to no
avail:
(setq scheme-program-name
"guile -l /usr/local/share/guile/site/guileinit.scm")
(setq inferior-scheme-program
"guile -l /usr/local/share/guile/site/guileinit.scm")
The guile command works in an xterm and using the old emacs without
problems.
If I issue
M-x run-ilisp <return>Dialect: guile<return>
it works. But I have to load my init file and don't want to do that
by hand.
2. Trying to change the Menubar Font under X fails. I edited my
.Xresources and tried with all of the following lines, found in
different helps, faqs, etc. on this subject in the web. All of them
don't work:
Emacs.menu*.fontList: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 6x10
Emacs.pane.menubar*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs.pane.menubar.font: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-*-iso10646-1
Emacs.menu*.font: -adobe-times-medium-r-normal--11-80-100-100-p-*-iso10646-1
xemacs.pane.menubar.*.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
Emacs*menubar*fontList: 6x10
xemacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 6x10
Emacs.paneFont: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Emacs*menubar*Font: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
Emacs*menubar.font: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
This one works immediately, so I think I'm editing the right file:
Emacs*menubar*foreground: Black
Emacs*menubar*background: gray90
I'm using xemacs 21.4.13, debian distro with lucid interface:
orm@grisey:~$ emacs --version
<...>
XEmacs 21.4 (patch 13) "Rational FORTRAN" [Lucid] (i386-debian-linux, Mule) of Sun Jul 20 2003 on eeyore
BTW: There is no /etc/X11/app-defaults/[xX]*[eE]macs on my system.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
