¹ I'm aware of work to have Emacs and XEmacs use GTK+ for menus and
such, but to really be useful they need to use e.g. Pango for buffer
display.
The rpms made by Jens Petersen for Emacs 22.0.50 use GTK and seem to
work well. Emacs feels a little faster than XEmacs, it would be ok for
me to give up XEmacs, if the most important packages (auctex, again)
were included.
