Cool.

For those of us lucky enough to be SXEmacs users. :-)

I found these.  Pity I never iconify anything :-)

Cool.  I can't try this out right now because XWEM is broke (see prev
email).

Hehe, I found this one the hard way... I was using my own icon
directory before this change was made... my setup broke.  Don't forget
the new `xwem-icon-find-file' that goes with this.

About time this has been added.  And a good thing too, a previous
change you made to xlib/xwem had broken my vline function.  Now I
don't need my vline because yours is now good enough. :-)

Can't wait to see it.

Would the suppressed messages still be viewable via `H-h l'?

I don't understand this.  Why wouldn't that work before now?

I haven't noticed either of these bugs, but fixed bugs are good. :-)
