OK try this:
(require 'font-lock)
=> font-lock
(face-property 'font-lock-comment-face 'foreground 'all)
=> ((global (nil . "blue4")))
(set-face-background 'default "red")
=> "red"
(face-property 'font-lock-comment-face 'foreground 'all)
=> ((global (nil . "blue4")))
(set-face-foreground 'font-lock-comment-face "white")
=> "white"
(face-property 'font-lock-comment-face 'foreground 'all)
=> ((global (nil . "white")))
(make-frame)
=> #<mswindows-frame "XEmacs" 0xcdd>
(face-property 'font-lock-comment-face 'foreground 'all)
=> ((#<mswindows-frame "XEmacs" 0xcdd> (nil . "gray80"))
(global (nil . "white")))
Creating the frame is adding all these frame-specific color specifiers
for the new frame onto the face. WTF!?
