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
