If I emerge xemacs-21.4.12 with USE="gpm xface jpeg tiff png mule X -motif athena neXt" emerge xemacs XEmacs gets compiled without those nifty dotted neXtaw scrollbars, cause the use athena section in the ebuild sets --with-scrollbars=lucid. This should be set to athena (only menubars from athena widget sets are not good, but XEmacs takes care of this on its own).
Oh, I just saw, that it uses wrong specs for selecting athena subtypes! There is no Xaw3d, its called 3d and the 3d in the default case should be xaw...
Created attachment 14097 [details, diff] Fixes use athena part in the ebuild of xemacs-21.4.12 Reorders widget set checks to get only one set of configure flags instead of lucid + the specific set. Use Xaw3d => --with-athena=3d --with-scrollbars=lucid Use neXt => --with-athena=neXtaw --with-scrollbars=athena Default => --with-athena=xaw --with-scrollbars=lucid
At least the Xaw3d widget set has also a nice scrollbar, so using athena here also might not hurt. Oliver.
Robert, can you check the status of this one?
Mass re-assign of really stale bugs; xemacs herd, please verify the status and close them if these issues no longer exist.
This has been fixed in the ebuilds in #97786 (after comment 17), and consequently also in my xemacs overlay mentioned in that bug.
This fix in now available in portage.
