I'm not sure whether this is a known bug (or feature) in Benadir. Start xemacs -vanilla, enter the following into the *scratch* buffer and evaluate with C-j. The lower part of the frame is not redrawn correctly and stays red. This happens for example when exiting xmine. (progn (switch-to-buffer (setq mybuffer (get-buffer-create "test"))) (set-specifier (face-background 'default) "red" mybuffer) (redisplay-frame) (kill-buffer mybuffer)) -- Gunnar Evermann Natural Language Systems Group, University of Hamburg EMail: Gunnar.Evermann(a)nats.informatik.uni-hamburg.de
