Apparently, someone's managed to find something vaguely Larryoid in time
for the next version of Emacs:

  http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/etc/NEWS.diff?r1=1.1183&r2=1.1184

So, M-g still doesn't do the obvious thing, but at least M-g M-g does.
And that silly font menu isn't in the way any more.

All that's needed now is for Emacs 22 to actually get released some time
this decade.  Not looking too likely, though.
