With CVS you can have every day some work ...

It takes longer to download, but it makes more sense (GNU Emacs has  
cvs built-in). The sources (C and Elisp and others) change quite  
often, because it's still a developing software. So updating and re- 
compiling and re-testing/using every few days makes sense.


There is also a version 23 available, based on Unicode. The Xft  
branch was integrated into it in summer (offering font anti- 
aliasing), and recently it learned to use fontsets to become able to  
display less characters as empty boxes.

For both versions a transparency patch is available that can make GNU  
Emacs transparent in X11 – if the X server (I think starting with  
X11R6.8) allows this!
