[ESS-bugs] Xemacs initialization bug

[Phillip Julian]

I requested that IT install Xemacs because I used it in the past. I read the note that you included, and  so I also ordered Emacs to be installed because it may work better with ESS.  But IT takes several days, and I already have Xemacs, and I have work to do -- so I am doing what I can with what I've got.  It's a bank, and I don't have admin rights.

I am open for advice in order to get ESS running OK.
