It appears that an apology may be needed with respect to launching bug report for 23003 in that the problem appears to be caused by first building Emacs using the `--with-ns` option, followed by building Emacs again using `--with-x`.  I have never used `make clean`, but that appears to resolve the issues with gtk3, athena and motif.

Your patch applies to the master branch, instead of the emacs-25 branch.  But, the patch may not be necessary . . . .

Even when switching between athena and motif, it is apparently necessary to run `make clean` before running a new configure and make.

If it is not inconvenient, perhaps leave this ticket open for a reasonable period of time.  I will be building using all of the options over the next few weeks and will make a note on my calendar to report back.

I would also like to apologize for my unfamiliarity with a patch containing things like:

  Subject: [PATCH] Port to GTK with strict C99 compiler

I had never seen such a thing before and erroneously assumed it would cause problems when applying the patch.

So, in a nutshell, no changes for now please. . .  Thank you for all your hard work, and my apologies for potentially wasting your time.

Thanks,

Keith
