Thanks! I had to comment three unknown symbols in your code
(Emacs 23.1.1):

- "(screen-usable-area (current-frame))" (line #129)
- "top-toolbar" (line #214)
- "top-toolbar-height" (line #215)

Emacs barfed on:

| emacs*visualClass:         true-color

with the error message (that is lacking a newline :-)):

| emacs: Invalid visual specification `true-color'

"TrueColor-24" worked, with "24" being the result of
"(x-display-planes)".

  Rather unexpected:

| emacs*menuBar:             on

*dis*abled the menu bar; that is contrary to the manual. A
"1" worked fine.

  I still have to check the other results en detail.

  I would love to see that code packaged with the main dis-
tribution; any chance?
