+Some versions of Debian install 3D versions of the Athena widget

+is possible for XEmacs to be compiled with reference to headers for

+The straightforward solution is to rebuild XEmacs with additional
+configure options: --with-widgets=athena --with-athena=3d.

+This often occurs when a progress bar pops up.

+The problem is that the ESD sound daemon manipulates interrupts in a

+The funny syntax (requiring the initial "none") is for backward
