Wrong. As I've said, it's hidden with Emacs < 21.4 in buffer *Messages*: Loading x-symbol-hooks...

Emacs-21.4 will have. People can already use it, see the beginning of file lisp/x-symbol-emacs.el: ;; To make use of newer Emacs features with the current stable version of ;; Emacs, you can download individual files from the CVS repository of ;; <http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/>.

Steve, since the debian package is "half-beta", it's probably safer for the moment to issue an error instead a warning with Emacs in this case (see below for the patch), because the warning is not really visible in Emacs. As I've said, I'll provide a real solution with v4.4.4. - Christoph diff -c /sapmnt/home1/d029492/a/emacs/emacs-21.1/lisp/x-symbol/x-symbol-hooks.el~ /sapmnt/home1/d029492/a/emacs/emacs-21.1/lisp/x-symbol/x-symbol-hooks.el *** /sapmnt/home1/d029492/a/emacs/emacs-21.1/lisp/x-symbol/x-symbol-hooks.el~ Mon Nov 4 14:28:15 2002 --- /sapmnt/home1/d029492/a/emacs/emacs-21.1/lisp/x-symbol/x-symbol-hooks.el Mon Nov 4 14:28:16 2002 *************** *** 223,230 **** (defvar x-symbol-default-coding (cond (noninteractive 'iso-8859-1) ((x-symbol-coding-system-from-locale)) !
