Hi folks,

I don't know if the question is relevant as a bug but
I would like to ask you for what is --with-x-toolkit used for?
Let's say that I setup --with-x-toolkit=gtk3 can it be a problem when 
emacs is run on KDE?

Greetings

The mailing list help-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org exists for Emacs questions that
aren't bugs.

Mainly about look'n'feel, ie personal preference.
Some people might prefer the older style of a Lucid/Motif build.

No.

Unless you are trying to cater to KDE purists who don't want any Gtk
stuff on their system (is that even possible?). But we don't have a Qt
port of Emacs anyway.
