FYI, our 'emacs-no-x-toolkit' package has a closure size of 390.9 MiB
and does _not_ have the Gtk bug described above. That's why I use it.
Are there additional benefits to 'emacs-lucid' that are not already
addressed by 'emacs-no-x-toolkit'? I'm not necessarily opposed to
adding another Emacs variant, but I don't yet understand the motivation.
Thanks,
Mark
