We use several products which provide their own Emacs functions for
use with the mouse.  These functions are based on the functionality in
the x-mouse.el file, and as such, require porting to Epoch in order to
work there;  Work that they are unlikely to do and for which we do not
have the time to do ourselves.

We also have a need for the X Menus feature of Emacs.

But, we would really like to use the multiple screen capability of
Epoch.

So, is there a way to build Epoch or Emacs so that we have the regular
Emacs X Mouse interface, X menus & the Epoch multiple screen
capability.

I seem to recall some previous postings that said compiling Epoch with
HAVE_X_MENU was not possible (or was it not recommended?).

Is compiling Epoch with HAVE_X_MENU and setting epoch::mouse-events to
nil workable?  If not, how about just extracting the multiple screen
capability from Epoch and working it into Emacs?
 
Regards,

Stephen
