[21.0.63] Bad interaction b/w customize and .Xdefaults

Paul> Here's what happens when custom-set-faces is working on the Paul> 'default face: Paul> 1) first the 'default face is reset. Paul> 2) next, x-init-global-faces is called, which, since the Paul> 'default face no longer has any attributes, sets 'default to Paul> fg:black, bg:grey80, etc. Paul> Where's the bug? It's not a bug, it's a feature. Compatibility with FSF Emacs. The Customize code partially duplicates the functionality of XEmacs specifiers (which FSF Emacs doesn't have). It doesn't do it completely. There has been some discussion of reimplementing Customize in XEmacs to use specifiers, but the consensus is that it's hard without losing FSF compatibility. I thought Jan fixed this particular problem by recording the initialized state in Custom, then re-setting it after clearing it. I get a flash on startup in 21.0.63 due to the init code setting my 'default face, Custom clearing it, and then setting it back to my preferences. Do you have the most recent cus*.el and are they compiled to elc? -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ What are those two straight lines for?
