Proposed patch to system.XWinrc

[Ken Brown]

I recommend that the xorg-server maintainers consider the following 
patch to system.XWinrc:

--- system.XWinrc.orig  2009-02-22 12:27:28.000000000 -0500
+++ system.XWinrc       2009-06-09 11:57:50.328125000 -0400

  // Make some menus...
  menu apps {
-       xterm   exec    "xterm"
-       "Emacs"         exec    "emacs"
+       xterm   exec    "xterm -ls"
+       emacs   exec    "bash -l -c /usr/bin/emacs"
         notepad exec    notepad
         xload   exec    "xload -display %display%"  # Comment
  }

The most important part of this is changing the way emacs is called; the 
original version didn't work at all for me (i.e., emacs didn't start). 
This might be related to the fact that I've installed the emacs-23 
packages, which use the alternatives system:

/usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs
/etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-X11.exe
