That is the exact same behaviour I've experienced. I have not yet found a solution. Which version did you build from source? I've tried to build both 21.4.14 and 21.5.16 without success. To fix your problems with the buttons, etc. you may want to read through configure.usage. There are a number of options in there related to that.

Dear Mitch,
I switched to Fedora this week and experience the same troubles. I sent a gdb core file report to the XEmacs people but they told me to report to the Fedora people and that I should create a bug report from XEmacs within :(
I only see "Garbage collecting done..." in the status and then it crashes and leaves me with a core file.
Did you find any solution? I suspect there are some configuration settings left but I'm just half the Linux user I use to be w/o XEmacs but I'm not an expert on its architecture.
Meanwhile I tried to compile the XEmacs and it fits now perfectly into the GNOME environment but I can't do a lot of things who require clicking on the buttons or menu items.
Today I will find out if I have more luck with the latest development version.
Please let me know if you have any solutions on that matter.
Kind regards from Freiberg, Germany,
Thoralf.

Here's what I do to compile and install xemacs. I use the athena widgets rather than Gnome. The only major problem I have is with Xemacs going into a frenzy if I maximize the Xemacs window, but that stops when I un-maximize it.
tar xvzf xemacs-21.4.14.tar.gz (apply patch here) cd xemacs-21.4.14 ./configure --with-widgets=athena --with-athena=3d --with-dialogs=athena make (change to root with su here) make install cd /usr/local/lib/xemacs tar xvzf ~/path-to-xemacs-packages/xemacs-sumo.tar.gz
If you develop C or C++ code, you should probably also apply the patch available here:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200309/msg00205.html
I was able to successfully compile the latest beta by turning off some of the debugging options. I'm going to try again with 21.4.14 and see what I can get to work. I don't use GNOME (nor KDE for that matter) so maximizing isn't an issue. Here is the configure command I used for the successful build:
./configure --error-checking=none
This was with xemacs-21.5.16.tar.gz.
If I get a successful build with 21.4.14, I'll write and post a spec file so people can make their own rpms out of it.

Ok, could you please try with xemacs-21.4.14-6 in the FC devel tree currently. If that still crashes, would you please report it in bugzilla.
Thank you,
Jens
