** Send an email to the various distributions, including the GNOME
and KDE projects, to use the new Emacs icons in etc/images/icons.

* WINDOWS SUPPORT BUGS.

These don't need to be fixed before a release, but we call the
attention of Windows users to fixing them.

** Drew Adams 12 Aug bug rpt: overlay  display artifact: trace left behind
Windows only bug. Bug appears only when Cleartype enabled, probably related
to the hack introduced on 2005-07-01 to fix some other Cleartype problem.

** [e-mail] 09 Aug 2006: ispell.el problem on Cygwin.
  (Did we decide that is unreproducible?)

* BUGS

** spurious scrolling bug
RMS has seen this too, happening during idle time, but cannot reproduce it.

** crash in gc_sweep
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2007-04/msg00082.html
 Reported by Kim Storm, who says "I've tried many ways / many times to
 reproduce the crash, but I cannot... messing around with this in
 various ways does not crash Emacs no matter how much I try."

** [e-mail], Apr 11: before-string in overlay
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2007-04/msg00153.html

** [e-mail], Apr 12: display margin errors on a tty
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2007-04/msg00272.html

* DOCUMENTATION

** [e-mail], Apr 9: x-display-pixel-width
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2007-04/msg00400.html
Not a bug, but doc must be updated.

** [e-mail], Apr 14:
 Org-mode and calc manual problems.

** Check the Emacs Tutorial.

The first line of every tutorial must begin with text ending in a
period (".", ASCII 0x2E) saying "Emacs Tutorial" in the respective
language.  This should be followed by "See end for copying
conditions", likewise in the respective language.

After each file name, on the same line or the following line, come the
names of the people who have checked it.
