Re: Initial frame displays the wrong colors

Matt> -- "Stephen J. Turnbull" <stephen(a)xemacs.org&gt; spake thusly: Matt> I would content that "It's always worked this way" and "This Matt> is the correct behavior" are two totally different Matt> statements. They are. By "correct behavior" I mean "matches specifications." Since the specification of visible behavior was never actually written down, I approximate it with the historical behavior. If you want to write a new specification that says that it's a bug, fine with me. But many many releases of XEmacs have been made with this "bug" unresolved and unremarked by the people planning releases. We need to get 21.4 promoted to stable. This is not a showstopper. Therefore it will wait. Matt> Why should anyone have to muck around with a completely Matt> different facility for only the _first_ frame? They shouldn't. That's not what I said, what I said is "go ahead and find a way to make it work in a desirable way". He did. I'm happy. So users use Michael's workaround[1] for now, and somebody does something better and more permanent in 21.5. Maybe it gets backported to 21.4. Footnotes: [1] IIRC somebody (Didier Verna?) tried this before, but with fonts, and found the flashing too annoying (or maybe merely unesthetic) and abandoned it. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
