They are not display glitches. You are not opening or closing (the
terminology still confuses me) the endpoints properly. Lars had the
same problem in topics mode. The buttons are getting merged together,
things like the (show) button on faces may only be pressed once, etc.

Yup. I've compared the performance under Emacs 19.34 and XEmacs 19.15
beta compiled under similar optimization, and we've got some major
optimization to do before releasing 19.15. :-( It may be slowish
under 19.34, but it's usable (even on a wimpy Cyrix 486-DX66).

O.K.

<DEVIL'S ADVOCATE>
If reading the manual is going to be mandatory, why can't I just set
things in Lisp as is traditional?

I hit the blue `[*]' buttons. You mean I have to also hit `Set
Default' as well?

What are the last two letters of "doesn't" and "can't"?
Coincidence? I think not.
