The behavior where X resources override Custom (and all other Elisp face settings) seems to have been around since forever --- it can be seen in Emacs 21 --- and there is no easy clean way to fix it. One possibility is for the relevant code in faces.el to look for a 'theme-face, and not apply X resources if so. This is a kludge since the faces code should ideally be independent of custom, but maybe it will suffice for now. Another possibility is to stop the window manager from automatically setting a face resource for the mode-line. There would then be no problem with the convention that X resources override Elisp, since X resources would be set by the user. I don't know how to do this, though. In the first place, why does the window manager automagically set the mode-line face resource? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
