Don't know, actually until now I used to compile a new version of
Xemacs, while the old one was still in place, as I found no hint in
the installation or other README's to remove a older version, if one
is installed. Most of the time I did not run into problems, once I got
rid of Mandrake because I didn't know what else to do :-)
Btw, in my other reply to you (Thanks Glyn :-) ) I mentioned a odd
behavior with a horizontal tool-bar.
I found the reason for this:
I had in ~/.xemacs/init.el this:
;; Here's a way to add scrollbar-like buttons to the menubar
(add-menu-button nil ["Top" beginning-of-buffer t])
(add-menu-button nil ["<<<" scroll-down t])
(add-menu-button nil [" . " recenter t])
(add-menu-button nil [">>>" scroll-up t])
(add-menu-button nil ["Bot" end-of-buffer t])
after disabling this the annoying problem is gone....
thanks again for your input :-)

The box said Windows, NT or better, so I installed Linux :-)
