Thanks for your input Glenn. I can confirm that on my system, it certainly did work at least with emacs 23 and possibly earlier versions of 24. Perhaps it depends on the configuration, such as which toolkit is used etc. I compile mine with X, but without external toolkits. In this case, my configure command was as follows: ./configure --without-toolkit-scroll-bars --with-x --with-x-toolkit=lucid --without-xft -- Mario Becroft t: @MarioBecroft p: +64-9-974-9244 m: +64-21-038-5178 w: http://www.becroft.co.nz/
