This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.

Dear Bug Team!
i don't know if it's a bug of xemacs or a bug in my understanding of
what's the intended function of frame-background-mode, but here it is
my story...
i use a dark background, that's used for the menubar, the toolbar and
all the other UI thingies, and a light background pixmap
as gnus and other packages have faces that differ in case of
dark/light background, i put
------------------------------------------
(custom-set-variables
; [...]
'(frame-background-mode (quote light))
; [...]
)
------------------------------------------
in my custom .el, but gnus (and custom) uses and insists in using the
faces that were designed and designated for a dark background (and
some of these are really unreadable)
thank you
