I have built up the courage to move from emacs 20.7 to
Emacs 21.2.2 (i386--freebsd, X tookit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
As I am a very poor at lisp I have struck some trouble. Here are a few
problems:
. The new left and right wrap margins (?) that display the line wrap char
etc are black on my screen. I have looked everywhere to try and change
this to a different color. I can't find an Xresource or a piece of lisp
code to do this.
. While we are at it, I tried to change the color of the scroll bars. I
read about the new scroll-bar faces but could not make it work.
. I use rmail for my mail. I used to use the mime-setup.el from
MORIOKA Tomohiko and I was happy with this. I needed to remove this from
my .emacs to get emacs21 to run. Reading the NEWS I see that 21 has inbuilt
mime decoding, but how do I use it.
. When starting I use 'emacs -geometry 80x48', I see the window draw and then
it resizes to a smaller size before completion. I found the problem is when
I turn off 'tool-bar-mode' It seems the window dimensions take into account
the tool-bar and then it readjusts. Any way of getting round this.
Where can I get information on how to set up faces. I would like to
redo the colors in the gnus article view mode.

The NEWS file calls them fringes.

IIRC the remedy here is to turn the tool bar off in the .Xdefaults or
.Xresources. I don't have an X at the moment, but I believe the
syntax is:
Emacs.toolBar: 0
(You can read about this in the Emacs manual under the index entry
"resources".)

Set "Emacs.toolBar: False" in your ~/.Xresources (or however it's
called on FreeBSD) file. Then no tool-bar appears at all and you
should get the expected geometry.
Bye, Reiner.

New features are documented and described with C-h N (I believe).
Turn off the toolbar in your X resources, then you don't get resizing.

Can't help with all the questions, but I've done the last.
