I have created a patch against xemacs 20.4. It *should* be available
at <URL:http://stud2.tuwien.ac.at/~e9426626/xemacs-20.4-esd>. Someone
e-mail me if this is not the case.

There is also a patch against the latest beta (21.2.8), which I have
sent to the xemacs beta team for inclusion in the next release. I can
upload this too, if anybody is interested.

There is also a list of possible improvements included, so you can
still satisfy that drive for coding <g>.

I agree that porting (X)Emacs to gtk would be nice, but is not very
urgent. One thing that would be immensly more useful (to me at least)
would be proper session-management support. I.e. you close the session 
(log out), restart it later and emacs has all non-transient buffers
opened as before, with point unmoved. Or at least call
`save-some-buffers' if the session is about to be closed...
