I'm running XEmacs 21.5.b10 on SuSE Linux 8.1. I have the following lines at
the end of my .Xdefaults file:
Emacs*foregroundToolBarColor: black
Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: gray
Nevetheless, these settings have no effect and the background color of the
toolbar (version 21.5.10) is white. Is there a way to fix it or Is this a
known bug? Thanks.

That's right. In 21.5, customize the 'toolbar face.
You may also wish to put
(set-specifier default-toolbar-border-width 1)
in init.el.
I consider it a bug that there is no automatic way to translate X
resources to face properties, but that is the way it is for now.

Stephen,
Thanks very much for the quick reply. I added the (set-specifier ...) command
to init.el as you advised. Interestingly, setting the toolbar face in XEmacs
actually changed the background color of the area to the immediate right of
the toolbar to gray, but the background color of the toolbar itself is still
white. When I was using version 21.5.b9, setting the background color of the
toolbar to gray worked, but had no effect on the area to the right of the
toolbar. So it would seem with the new beta version of XEmacs that the
behavior of the toolbar color has been reversed. Thanks again.

What else has changed about the toolbar, buffer tab, and gutter areas' code
between 21.5.b9 and 21.5.b10? I filed a bug report about update problems
with Mac OS X/X11 with 21.5.b10, I I haven't seen any other mention of
problems. I recall something, perhaps a year or so ago on the xemacs-nt
list about buffer display moving up into that area and damaging it. That
looks like what I see on my machine. I can cursor up into the tool bar when
the bug appears.

No, AFAIK that has not been explicitly changed. However, there have
been changes in window configuration code that might affect that
somehow.

I think it's the same bug. I reported it, I'm pretty sure on
xemacs-beta.
This behavior was was incorrectly fixed in the C code (ie, the way it
was fixed in the C code made it impossible to make improvements to
window configuration facilities in a sane way), so Mike (ever the
radical daredevil) ripped it out of C and reimplemented in Lisp. So
expect some instability in this area until things settle down.
