Eheh, first time anyone tells me this. I have to admit it kind of feels good :)

Well it seems that I'm not too much ahead of Emacs knowledge, though. I
already had hard time understanding your message. But if you mean this
thread [1], it's even worse there, being mostly technical jargon -- and I
thank them to keep this on emacs-devel! In the end, I'm not quite sure what
to do with it (a eieio-custom.el is mentioned, but requiring it did not
really improve the situation). However, I can for sure wait a couple of
days or more, so please take as much time as needed to dig into this.
And just for the record, I'm using Emacs Snapshot from the Naquadah
repository [2], and I'm sure I'm not the only one Debian user doing this.
However,
Thanks for your answer!
Mathieu.
