Re: Background pixmaps cannot be set more than once

Hi, After some twiddling I found that if I use make-image-instance instead of passing an "instantiator" (as per set-face-background-pixmap) as the second argument to set-face-background-pixmap, all works just fine. IOW, the following works reliably: (defun set-pixmap-background (filename) "Set current buffer background pixmap" (interactive "fXPM file: ") (set-face-background-pixmap 'default (make-image-instance (vector 'xpm ':file (expand-file-name filename)) nil (list 'color-pixmap) nil) (current-buffer))) whereas the following does not work (or rather, works just once): (defun set-pixmap-background (filename) "Set current buffer background pixmap" (interactive "fXPM file: ") (set-face-background-pixmap 'default (vector 'xpm ':file (expand-file-name filename)) (current-buffer))) I do not understand all this stuff, but perhaps somebody who does can make out who's wrong and where the fix should be - or perhaps I'm completely missing something (from the docs of set-face-background-pixmap it seems that the second - not working - version is correct)...
