I usually use xemacs in a separate window, so these things don't bother me, 
either.  But, it does have issues with xemacs -nw.  One annoying thing is 
that even if you have the menu bar hidden, m-f, m-e, m-h, etc., still pop up 
the menus instead of getting sent to the app.  I guess I could see where 
that could be useful, but when you're wrapping a console window you can't 
assume you can have any keys for yourself, or you need a way to turn on and 
off if they get passed through.
