This is the actual error! When I have your seven lines

        (message "Enabling whitespace mode ...")
        (require 'whitespace)
        (set-face-background 'whitespace-tab "lime green")
        (setq-default whitespace-style '(tabs trailing))
        (global-whitespace-mode t)
        (message "Enabled whitespace mode.")
        (setq-default whitespace-style '(face tabs trailing))

in my .emacs it launches and works correctly, including only one "WS" in the 
mode-line. Obviously later in your init file something tries to manipulate the 
variable font-lock-defaults-alist which does not exist in GNU Emacs 24. First 
correct this error!
