Hi,

Something really odd just happened and I am not sure why.

When I start Emacs from the Finder or from the dock, I get the
following error whenever I try to type:

 Wrong type argument: commandp, help-insert-xref-button

I can clear this from the menu bar by, say, going to
Preferences... which opens the customization buffer.

If I start Emacs from a shell (Terminal.app) by

   open /Applications/Emacs.app

this does not happen.

I use desktop mode, but I deleted the desktop file in case it was
keeping some weird information.  I also restarted the machine just in
case, but it still happens.

Any clues?  Or better yet, any fixes?

Cheers, José
