First a couple of comments:

 o xpm detection failed because I had version 30405 (grumble).  I
   suppose this is good that the detection works as advertised, but I
   had not had problems before.  My version of xpm had come with
   slackware (installed in the fall, so not very old).  I point this
   out since if the version test is overly sensitive, there may be
   others like me who have to explicitly demand xpm support.
   Actually, rather than fuss with it I upgraded xpm, and then it was
   detected (of course).

 o I am seeing a minor bug (which were probably there before).  First,
   if I start XEmacs from an xterm, and then use gnuclient -nw, it
   works OK.  If I start XEmacs through my window manager and try
   gnuclient -nw, XEmacs crashes.  Looking at the entry for XEmacs
   with ps (before the crash :) ) shows a TTY of "1" for programs
   started through the Window manager.  This must be confusing the
   gnuclient -nw interaction.  (gnuclient without -nw for openning a
   new X frame works in all cases).

 o The new about.el is incompatible with jka-compr (images do not
   appear).  Maybe we don't care since "jka-compr is evil".  However,
   this used to be ok not very many versions ago.  about.el does work
   with crypt loaded.  Maybe jka-compr should be moved into the attic
   after all if crypt is kept.

 o Also, with about.el: buttons which say that they will "[Kill] this
   buffer", don't; they only bury it.
