The menu icons for emacs on Slackware-Current are showing as red x's. Tried running installpkg for emacs again but it didn't help. The version I see on the mirrors is
If you're using KDE, right click on the KDE logo in the Kicker, click on Menu Editor,then Development, then Emacs, then the square in the GUI - that brings up all the icons. Hope that's clear enough.

Curious. Starting from the GUI works but I normally start with a setup script from a rxvt window. From a terminal window the script works as it is supposed to do giving a full functional emacs. Guess I'll have to give up trying to minimize the impact of the user interface on my number crunching.
i'm just wondering if you have also issued a command 'slackpkg install-new' for the upgrade, since the icon-themes in -current is now a separate package.
If you just upgraded 13 to -current with commands 'slackpkg update' 'slackpkg upgrade-all', you will definitely missing the new icon-theme package.
What do you see in /usr/share/emacs/22.3/etc/images (for Slackware 13)? For -current, it will be in a similar directory, depending upon the specific emacs version there.
On the keybindings -- I use a special keymap in my terminals (and I boot to runlevel 3). The default, I believe has only one of the alt keys set up as a meta key. I call my custom keymap during startup with the rc.keymap script.
Toolbar icons -- I built Emacs 23.2 from source on Slackware64_13 and noticed that the toolbar has different icons than Emacs 22.3. I know that the defaults are different, but the SlackBuild script in the source for Emacs 23.2 in -current configures it with the GTK toolkit. I suspect that the original poster is either having trouble with the GTK icons or there's a problem with the makefile of the new version of Emacs.
I guess the question is whether or not other people are having the same trouble in -current with Emacs 23.2.
