I can't rule out that there was a change to the configuration of Emacs on that day that effectively added the set-background operation on that day. > I can also reproduce the > problem in xterm, so I don't think Mintty is the culprit. I already said in my original report that I can reproduce this from my Linux box via konsole. I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier, but I just fired up emacs-nox from my Linux box and did 'M-x set-background-color RET white RET' and guess what, the background turns a relatively dark shade of grey. I've tried to dig through the call chain that would lead to that result and it seems that the result depends on whether brightwhite/15 or white/7 gets picked from tty-color-alist or a value gets generated from tty-color-standard-values (which uses the X definitions for the named colors).
