[AUCTeX] Two auctex questions

[Alasdair McAndrew]

I've just installed a brand-new ubuntu 9.10 system, with (gnu) emacs 23 and auctex (v. 11.84).  However, there are two problems: (1) the menus for "LaTeX" or "Command" don't appear, and (2) I'd like the option of turning off the preview functionality.

If anybody has some advice, I'd be delighted.

Thanks,
Alasdair
