Plea for help - why are face specs causing faces.el to kill xemacs?
So, if I try to put GTK resource specs in faces.el like so:
(set-face-background 'secondary-selection
'(((x default color) . "paleturquoise")
((x default color) . "green")
((x default grayscale) . "gray53")
((gtk default color) . "paleturquoise")
((gtk default color) . "green")
((gtk default grayscale) . "gray53")
((mswindows default color) . "paleturquoise")
((mswindows default color) . "green")
((mswindows default grayscale) . "gray53"))
'global)
XEmacs compiled for X or TTY fails to dump, citing the error below. It
works fine if the code is built with GTK support, or if I comment out the
(gtk default color) specs in the above list.
Any clues? This would be one of those !＠#%!＠ we can't put GTK in type of
bugs.
