I pretty much stick with what's available in Debian (Testing) packages, 
and since XEmacs 21.5 is not up there yet, I haven't yet run it on 
Linux. I tried the Windows version, and had poor success with mixed 
international font displays in Unicode (Utf-8). And since (1) XEmacs 
really can't be used as an XML editor, and (2) since its macros run 
considerably slower on the very large text documents that I deal with 
(usually around 10 mb) I sort of gave up on it for now. When 21.5 
becomes formally released as a Debian package, I'll certainly give it a 
try, since there are certain things about the function of XEmacs that I 
like better than Emacs.
