Re: thumbs.el and transparency

[Richard M. Stallman]

      - With cua-mode, I suddenly can not force `transient-mark-mode' to
    stay nil (I'm still investigating that one)

That must just be a bug.  Have you tracked it down?

     - On my configuration at home, font-locked text with a bold face seem
    to be being "shaved" a few pixels on the right (so the last char of
    the string, keyword, etc. looks weird)

That seems strange.  Can you send a clear bug report.

      - I got warnings on loading .emacs.el because bindings for [home]
    and [end] have changed...

Yes, we fixed a bug that required making new commands for these.
