No, AFAIK this is correct behavior, at least it has always been so.
The first frame is created early in the initialization process, and
therefore is different from all those created after initialization.
Changing behavior to what you might prefer is hard; you're welcome to
try.
Use X resources to initialize the first frame's resources.
Ok. I just might take a look sometime in the future. Meanwhile,
however, what about adding this information to the default face's custom
docstring? It would alleviate the confusion I've seen with many a user.
Right now it says "default face". It might be nice to mention:
a) The default face's special property of changing the frame's
background color (even where no text exists)
b) That setting it to a dark color might make the first XEmacs
frame's colors hard to read, and using X resources will fix it.
Also, I suppose that there isn't any easy work-around (like setting X
resources) for Windows (or otherwise non-x) users?
