[Cooker] xemacs-21.1.9-3mdk: annoying destruction of default font settings

[David Aspinall]

P.S.

To be a bit less abrasive, here is a much more polite way to set the
default font for you:

  (set-face-font 'default "-*-Fixed-Medium-R-*-*-*-130-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1")

You should use this in place of the line

  (setq default-frame-alist '((font . "-*-Fixed-Medium-R-*-*-*-130-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1")

in /etc/emacs/site-start-xemacs.el

This avoids the annoying font switching on startup (first screen
appears in large font before switching to your font), and it
also avoids trashing user preferences saved with "Save Options".

I've always hated the default .emacs supplied by Mandrake.  

Imagine my shock to see the new xemacs has a site-start.el which
trashes my default font settings, amongst the other mess there.

Could you not make this file optional?
