As Steve already mentioned this xwemrc.el won't work for you!  You
really better start xwem without xwemrc.el and then grab stuff(which
you find interesting) from Steve's xwemrc.  And dont forget add your
story to http://wiki.xwem.org/SuccessStories or
http://wiki.xwem.org/FailureStories

Also note that the best way to report xwem problem is M-x
xwem-report-bug RET ..

Thanks for the interest, dont hesitate asking if you will have
problems setting up xwem ..
