Main features to be tested:
1) A fix for the "can't frob italic face" bug. YMMV, but I at least
can now vary the size and family of italic. All hail Jan Vroonhof.
2) Some pearls for the GTK crowd, maybe. GTK faces will now get
initialized, courtesy of John Paul Wallington. John fears that
this then breaks face customization in some other way, but I
don't see how. He did not have Jan's patch, so perhaps things
are really all right now. Please test and let me know.
It did break face customization, and it still does. Jan's patch
doesn't make a difference. I've found that if the
set-face-background/foreground forms within gtk-init-device-faces
aren't passed the gtk device as the optional locale argument then
subsequent customization of the default faces do have a visible
effect. I posted a patch to xemacs-patches that just comments them
out, which is yukky but works.
