As someone who a) isn't the maintainer of emacs21-xaw3d and
b)  isn't remotely able to fix what is going on. What should
I do? I just wanted to let the developers know that this
package wasn't working properly. I've installed emacs21
without xaw3d, and that will do for now, I just wanted to
bring this to the attention of the developers.
