I've been playing around with the buffers-tab face - currently it's:
'(buffers-tab ((t (:foreground "firebrick4" :background "gray60"
:size "10" :family "helvetica" :italic t))) t)
most of the time all the tab labels show up as firebrick4, but sometimes
some of the tabs show up as black rather than firebrick4, as shown below

ok, I haven't had buffer-tabs turned on for a long time, so I turned them
back on to test this - a number of comments, some of which should probably
be reported separately:
o first of all, where is the buffers-tab face in the customize
heirarchy-of-doom? that is, if I just do Options -> Customize -> etc.,
where can I find it? I expected it to be under Widgets, but it doesn't
seem to be there
in the end I just did M-x customize-face buffers-tab RET
o with the buffer-tabs turned on, I'm noticing strange periodic hangs -
strange because I can't seem to reproduce them - seem to happen after
attempting to kill a buffer via C-x k RET, or even by clicking Done in a
customize buffer - no cpu usage, just unresponsive (even to C-g) - if I
leave it alone and come back later, it seems OK
now I notice that just moving the mouse out of the frame and back in, to
refresh focus, seems to bring it back
maybe others have reported this - I admit I haven't paid close attention
lately
o back to the face update problem - you're right that it's mostly fixed -
just one small glitch - here's a recipe
1. load up a few dired buffers
2. split the frame (C-x 2 RET)
3. M-x customize-face buffers-tab RET
4. type in new Foreground color
5. click on Set
at this point the buffer-tab will be displaying "*Customize Face:
Buffe..." in the new color
6. move point back to other window, either via mouse-1 or C-x o
now the buffer-tabs will be displaying the dired buffer names, but with
the old Foreground color - kill a buffer or load a new dired buffer and
the dired buffer-tab faces will be updated
I noticed another problem related to use of custom, somewhat more serious,
but I think it deserves its own msg.

This is worrying. How long does it lock up for? Can you run it in gdb and
then when it next locks up hit ^C in the debugger and get a stacktrace? Is
SIGIO defined in you config.h?

in, to

You're the first.

Urg. I know why this is. Not sure how to fix it.
