OK, then, the reason I'm still using epoch instead of anymacs-19.xx is
that I embed emaxen windows inside of other windows.  I'm using about
half of the X functions epoch offers for figuring each window's XID
and handling X communications, such as ClientMessages (with Xatoms in
them) and changing properties on windows for data transfer in and out
of emacs.  I also use the display change hooks to implement scrollbars
(after-update-hook, window-select-hook, set-window-buffer-hook).  When
lemacs can do these things, I guess I'll leave epoch behind.

BTW, these are kludges I use to allow emacs windows inside of Tk/Tcl
widgets.  If you could properly integrate Tk into lemacs as an option
instead of Motif et cetera, that would be much superior.  TkEmacs did
that with emacs 18.59, allowing arbitrarily complex widgets and other
GUI stuff to be built from elisp scripts.
