Wow, this is a momentous day for me. I've been a hard core xemacs user
for the last 12 years. And I've finally decided to switch over to
emacs. I'll miss the nicer look and more streamlined and clean cut
interface of xemacs. But after the release of emacs 22 and things like
column support and such in org-mode which is available only in emacs
have convinced me that the tradeoffs in sticking with xemacs was just
not worth it... Even other packages are always better supported in emacs
.... Ah well, xemacs I'll miss some of your features ! but auf
wiedersehen, it's time to say goodbye to you...

I use org-mode 5.21 with xemacs 21.4.21. When I try to use the column
features in org -mode, I get a message that emacs 22 is needed for
this to work.
Question:
- Is there any patch or something that I can apply to xemacs 21.4 for
this work?
No.
- What specific feature in emacs 22 helps this to work?
Column view uses overlays, adn the differences in the overlay/extent
implementation would require
a lot of work making it compatible. I do not have the time to work
this out, so column view is not supported under XEmacs and likely
never will.
