Hi all,
I've recently started using emacs --daemon + emacsclient -c as my
primary means of interacting with emacs. Generally, it works great, but
I have noticed that I can no longer set the default face via custom.
In my custom-set-faces section, I have a line that looks like:
'(default ((default (:stipple nil :background "black" :foreground
"gray90" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil
:underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 72 :width normal
:foundry "bitstream" :family "Bitstream Vera Sans Mono")) (nil nil)))
The key is that "background" is black. I do indeed get a black
background, but if I view the default face in custom, custom thinks the
background is "unspecified-bg". If I change this to something else and
set or save the custom face, emacs goes into an infinite loop. (I can
provide more details about this; C-g doesn't kill it, though.)
Everything else generally works OK, except occasionally I get
messages like ``Unable to load color "unspecified-bg" [6 times]'' in
*Messages*. This doesn't seem to be causing any malfunction, though.
Finally, if I just run "emacs" normally (not emacsclient -c), everything
works fine. The color is "black" in customize, I don't get warning
messages, and I can change the color and set/save.
Anyway, any pointers on where to look for the cause of this would be
appreciated. It doesn't seem to be a very critical problem, but it
would be nice to understand what's causing it.
Regards,
Jonathan Rockway
