hum, i don't agree on this. Many defaults in emacs are weird
(eg: who doesn't prefer this?
 (setq next-line-add-newlines nil)
 (setq revert-without-query (cons "TAGS" revert-without-query))
)

and when upgrading to new emacs versions, the defaults often change
(eg: replace-rectangle vs string-rectangle), so why should mandrake
not do so too?

  The make-emacs-not-jump way to get rid of the toolbar is to put that
  in the Xdefaults and not in the .emacs

  Pixel: I like to get rid of the toolbar (I agree it's useless),
  but...could it be done in the Xdefaults? what I use is:

  Emacs.ToolBar: 0
  Emacs.MenuBar: 0

  Yes, I also get rid of the menubar :)
