Can't see xfaces

Can't see xfaces

[Arcady Genkin]

Hi all:

gnus-treat-display-xface is set to true.

I compiled xemacs 21.1.4 with xface support.

What have I missed?

It should be set to head

(setq gnus-treat-display-xface 'head)

Which leads to a point I have raised before.


there is nothing wrong with this:

(setq gnus-treat-display-xface 'last)

Although it makes little sense.  The different values for the
gnus-treat-* variables are a little confusing at first, because some
settings are valid, but make no sense.

Regards,

Shaun

Yep, the manual should be clearer, but as this is still development
software I wouldn't expect it to be yet ...

Attached patch might improve things, or may just further confuse the
issue ...
