	If anyone adopts the bobcat.el changes I suggested for
	choosing keyboard or mouse setup files, one more change
	would be appropriate:

	Avoid executing X-dependent setup if emacs is using a
	terminal of some sort rather than an X window.  Yesterday
	we discovered that x-rebind-keysym blows up if someone
	running SunView elsewhere does a remote login via the net
	and uses this setup.

	In general it seems like a good idea to avoid all X-dependent
	setup in a case such as this.  Here's an updated copy of
	the added code in bobcat.el that dodges this bullet:



(if window-system	; Set up mouse & kbd ONLY if using window sys [X11]
    (progn
    (if (file-exists-p "~/.emacs_kbd")
        (load "~/.emacs_kbd")
        (load "term/default_kbd"))

    (if (file-exists-p "~/.emacs_mouse")
        (load "~/.emacs_mouse")
        (load "term/default_mouse"))
    ))
