(insert (emacs-version)) XEmacs 21.5 (beta4) "bamboo" [Lucid]
(i586-pc-linux) of Fri Feb 1 2002 on boffi95)
from my .Xdefaults:
Emacs*Background: BlanchedAlmond
Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: forestgreen
what happens that puzzles me? the toolbar icons in the default toolbar
are drawn with a Blanched Almond bg amid a forest green toolbar,
while, e.g., gnus and info (two packages that use their own toolbar)
both happily draw the icons bg in forest green, that imho is the
correct behaviour
