Re: Background pixmap from X resources broken in latest CVS

I've had things like this in my .Xresources for quite a while:
XEmacs.default.attributeBackgroundPixmap:
~/pics/Propaganda/Vol8/Good-Clean-Fun-2.jpg
However, it no longer works after the latest CVS update. XEmacs fails
to run the initial frame, saying:
*** Error in XEmacs initialization
(error "Can't instantiate text or subwindow outside a window" [jpeg :file
"/home/hniksic/pics/Propaganda/Vol8/Good-Clean-Fun-2.jpg" :data
"<FF><D8><FF><E0>^＠^PJ
... bunch of JPEG data ...
If I remove the background setting, XEmacs starts up. If I manually
set the background with
(set-face-background 'default "~/pics/...")
it works.
Any ideas what happens here?
Well this is my change. I forced image instantiation to not ever be in the
minibuffer as a locale. This is obviously wrong for text - I was only
trying to catch widgets - I will fix.
