(xmenu_show ) [USE_X_TOOLKIT]: Implement a Motif behavior for the menubar. Now, if you move the pointer on another menubar item while displaying the contents of a selected menubar item, the current pulldown menu is closed and the new one corresponding to the new pointed item is displayed. Clean up code. Handle the MotionNotify events in the XEvent loop.

;;; Commentary:

;; UNIX processes inherit a list of name-to-string associations from
;; their parents called their `environment'; these are commonly used
;; to control program options.  This package permits you to set
;; environment variables to be passed to any sub-process run under Emacs.

;;; Code:

;;;###autoload
(defun setenv (variable &optional value)
  "Set the value of the environment variable named VARIABLE to VALUE.
VARIABLE should be a string.  VALUE is optional; if not provided or is
`nil', the environment variable VARIABLE will be removed.  
This function works by modifying `process-environment'."
  (interactive "sSet environment variable: \nsSet %s to value: ")
  (if (string-match "=" variable)
      (error "Environment variable name `%s' contains `='" variable)
    (let ((pattern (concat "\\`" (regexp-quote (concat variable "="))))
	  (case-fold-search nil)
	  (scan process-environment))
      (while scan
	(cond
	 ((string-match pattern (car scan))
          (if (eq nil value)
              (setq process-environment (delq (car scan) process-environment))
