The messages are in the hidden buffer " *Message-Log*" (The quotations
are there only to show you that there is a space before the first * and not
one after the second *.)

Sometimes, the debug information only shows up if you have error debugging
and tracing turned on AFTER starting XEmacs.

The toolbar crash I have seen in some 21.5 versions. I am currently running
21.5.b14 on my 768 MB TiPB compiled with GNU gcc version 3.4 from May 10
CVS, and it hasn't crashed on me. 21.5.b13 ran for 14 days before I had to
restart to update QuickTime. I have also compiled 21.5.b14 with a 3.4 June
CVS and Apple's 3.3 Jan CVS (the last one they have on their site). I don't
have fink installed and many libraries I compiled myself in /usr/local. This
is just to say that our systems may be very different.

If you make XEmacs one of the programs on your Applications menu, and enable
console/crash logging, do you get the errors saved in your console log? The
errors you posted before are in functions that I believe are defined within
libX11.
Also, is MULE enabled in your version of XEmacs? There are differences
between the two builds, but I don't think you can run a MULE version without
all the MULE lisp files. I cannot get a non-MULE version or any 21.4
version to run at all. Last I tried I could not even get a compilation to
complete when configure had been run --without-mule. But this is a fault of
my own setup which began as a simple copy of the file tree from another
working installation.
