xemacs is not the answer
Trying to install xemacs 21.5.26 from source, it needed the xbitmaps package which weirdly was not installed by default. It just needs an apt-get, but bitmaps doesn't come in with the rest of the xlibs.
The compile goes ok after many additional packages are installed. Weird configure options:
./configure --with-x-toolkit=gtk --with-xft=emacs,tabs,menubars,gauges --with-debug=no --with-error-checking=no --with-widgets=athena
Is what's needed. However, there's a porting job b/c I have to make emacs' ado-mode for stata work for xemacs -- I have to duplicate the :inherit functionality of fsf-emacs for ado-mode. Plus, I have to say that I think xemacs is not as clean looking as fsf-emacs. Back to fsf-emacs.
