This is encouraging then. Although the GTK version is still not as robust as the other toolkit versions, the 21.4.x series has progressed well in terms of GTK support. Well enough that I've used it as my only xemacs since 21.4.4 (.3?). 21.4.6 scrollbars work fine, the menu bar works fine, the widgets work okay (some subtle stuff in the customization groups)... 21.4.6 is definitly superior to the forked 21.1.12_p3 version we currently have. I look forward to sending what I have to bugs.gentoo after a little more testing and possibly a README.Gentoo to explain what to expect as a user.
