In-Reply-To: <E18qfnW-00086r-00@fencepost.gnu.org> (message from Richard Stallman on Wed, 05 Mar 2003 15:47:30 -0500)

       About code cleanup, how about removing the pure X (i.e. not Xt, not GTK)
       parts?  That would not reduce the duplication but would remove a lot
       of #ifdef:s.  Is there a configuration that has X but not Xt?

   It's not clear that the only reason for the non-toolkit version is to
   support configurations that don't have Xt.  (I don't think there ever
   were any such.)  There might be users who prefer the non-toolkit
   version.

   However, they are probably few, and maybe it is ok to delete the
   non-toolkit code.  I am not saying I am sure we need to keep it, only
   that we shouldn't look at it purely as a question of whether Xt is
   available.

The main reason I know of to want non-toolkit scroll-bars (but just
scroll bars, i.e. configuring using 
./configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars) is to be able to split
windows using C-mouse-2.  It is unclear to me whether this would be
affected by the proposed changes.  (If not, then of course this remark
is irrelevant.)

Sincerely,

Luc.
