Re: LyX under X11 behaviour

I do not use xemacs.  I just realized I have fink and have the real emacs
installed that way.  emacs itself has been an x11 app ever since x11 was
available.  xemacs is a newer application which grew out of conflicts over how
the original emacs should behave.

Not quite true. GNU Emacs for many years had no decent X11 support, no menu bars, no drop-down or pop-up menus, no support for multiple windows, no decent mouse support or font styles or syntax highlighting. This is the reason why Lucid Emacs (which later became XEmacs) was developed. There is an interesting summary of the Lucid/FSF Emacs wars here:

I remember this quite well and have used lemacs and then XEmacs for many years.
