It seemed to be right. [...] I think that the big issue is that the software continues to adapt itself to the default background color, despite my telling explicitly what I want. I think that if I only set the default face, having XEmacs change the rest of it's faces to something readable is nice. When I explicitly set the face properties, I would expect them to stay, even if that's unreadable. Daniel -- We fear that pop-culture is the only culture we're ever going to have.
