Hey Folks!

Don't turn on xwem debugging by default.  After a few hours you end up
with a gigantic debug buffer.  And if you ever do M-x xwem-report-bug
after running for a number of hours or, god forbid, days, the report
is ridiculously big.

Case in point... the last bug report I sent.  Gnus split it into 7
separate 1Mb messages on send.

What I'll be doing the next time I find a bug is:

  Wait until I can come up with a reasonably reliable recipe for
  reproducing it.

  Turn on debugging

  Reproduce bug

  M-x xwem-report-bug

  M-x xwem-turn-off-debug

  Kill the debug buffer
