I don't know who to write to, but I'm not sure that we would ask the right question anyway (a mode-line for a buffer without focus is presumably the same kind of widget yet it's face is unaffected by Metacity for some reason). I'd like to hear what Jan D has to say. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
