The scroll-bars, > too, look like 2D.... Actually, this appears not to be entirely the case. The version of emacs that Ubuntu installed has GTK menus, scrollbars, and modeline -- and while the scrollbars and modeline do have a somewhat flatter look than the corresponding libXaw3d widgets, they still look much more 3d than the *completely* flat, 2d look that I'm seeing in my self-compiled version. Moreover, the buttons in the customization buffers in the Ubuntu-installed version are all 3d. This makes me wonder whether the source of the problem with my self-compiled version lies with my use of the xft option to get (very handsome) anti-aliased fonts -- which I really can no longer live without, having been spoiled by Emacs under Mac OS X.
