Description DC 2004-02-22 16:45:44 UTC
In Emacs 21.3-r2, you set myconf to --with-x-toolkit=no if the user does not use Xaw3d or Motif. Unfortunately, this prevents Emacs from using the GTK widgets as well, resulting in it using the default text-based menus. (This change was a fix for bug 35300)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
emerge emacs (with GTK installed)
Actual Results:  
When you run emacs, it displays the text-based menus and scrollbar instead of
using the GTK widgets.

Expected Results:  
All the previous ebuilds for emacs would use the GTK widgets if they were available.

I assume this was accidentally assigned to xemacs@g.o...

DC, you actually used Emacs with GTK+ toolkit? I don't
think current emacs in portage can use GTK+ toolkit.
Please provide your `emerge info` and `emerge -pv emacs`
and `ldd /usr/bin/emacs`.
Comment 2 DC 2004-03-02 15:52:41 UTC
Hmm, you are right. I had assumed that the graphical widgets came from GTK since it was one of the configure options, but they're actually from Xaw3d. I guess we have to manually USE xaw3d now. Thanks anyway.
