background and foreground colors

This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team, not to your local site managers!! Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. In XEmacs 21.0 "Poitou60" [Lucid] (i586-pc-linux) of Fri Dec 11 1998 on liatris configured using `configure --prefix=/usr/local/xemacs-beta --with-site-lisp --package-path=/usr/local/xemacs-beta/lib/xemacs/packages --gung-ho --with-xpm --with-tiff=no --with-dialogs=athena --error-checking=none --debug=no --with-pop' Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: Something new and undesirable in 21.0-beta60: when the font is changed from the Options menu the background is changed to white and the foreground is changed to black, over-riding the settings which have worked until now in my ~/.Xresources file. This didn't happen with the most recent beta in the 21.2 series.
