Could you try using the version of Emacs that comes bundled with a
recent version of ESS?  That will help us determine whether there is
still a bug to fix.  Please download it from

Thanks to Vincent Goulet for making this version.

I realise this is Emacs, not XEmacs, but using this package will at
least mean that we can more easily test bugs (most developers of ESS
do not primarily work on Windows machines).
