Title: Traditional emacs color configuration no longer works since 12.04 Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, I notice that the emacs color configuration behavior has changed since 12.04. My 10+ years of emacs color configuration is now broken, and nowhere did I found on the internet talking about such change. To duplicate: $ cat > ~/.Xdefaults Emacs.Foreground: honeydew Emacs.Background: black Emacs*cursorColor: yellow Then start emacs with emacs -q --no-site-file & under X. emacs should start with the designated color, however, in Ubuntu 12.04, it will always start black on white. Please verify.
