Indeed it is. One query: is the lack of support for the GTK menu-accelerator keystrokes (eg. hitting F10 and navigating the menus by using the cursor keys) regarded as an outstanding bug to be fixed for the next release, as a wish-list feature, or as a rejected and undesirable feature? I, for one, find that the support of XEmacs for this feature is one of the few places where it has an advantage over GNU Emacs. It would be nice if it could be fixed for the next release, but it may be a non-trivial task. I once looked at the code, and saw that this GTK feature was explicitly disabled by Emacs. I tried enabling it, and saw that there were weird side-effects in which point moved in the buffer in addition to the menu navigation, and so I gave up investigating it. Peter
