You are right of course. The default build of GNU Emacs will now prefer GTK+ whenever possible. I am not really experienced with the default installation of the major GNU/Linux distributions (I only found out last night that the default "base system" in Ubuntu does not include all the necessary bits to compile programs, and one has to install a set of -dev packages, for example). Thanks for the clarification :-) - Giorgos
