XEmacs 21.5 (beta7) "broccoflower" [Lucid] (i586-pc-linux)
of Mon Jul 29 2002 on boffi95
i have updated my sources, built and installed xemacs, then i started
gnus
all the faces gnus uses are now almost unreadable, as gnus has come to
think that my frames have a dark background, and thus uses light,
unsaturated nuances of color... --- this is plainly wrong, as i have
had in my custom.el

\------------------------------------------------------------
for ages
i have to say that my default background, set via x resources, is
really darkish, but it's used only for the interface elements, while
the text area uses a very light pixmap (see figure n. 1)
if i remember well, i experienced before this bug, and someone (andy
or steve?) had a patch to fix it...
