Re: emacsclient and reverseVideo in Xresources

[Dimitrios Apostolou]

Thanks for your response. Here are the answers to your questions and some 
extra details:

- I am launching emacs from within a dark xterm, all commands are manual
- "emacs -nw" launches emacs with the same (dark) background *in the same 
terminal*
- "emacs -Q -nw" behaves the same (-Q explicitly skips processing of Xresources)
- "emacsclient -nw" launches emacs with white background *in the same 
terminal*, i.e. it reverses the colours!
- My .Xresources instructs all X applications to reverse colours with this line: 
"*reverseVideo: true"
- The same colour reversals mentioned above happen also when I start emacs from a 
white-background xterm (using "xterm +rv")

My findings so far indicate that emacs-server loads my Xresources file and 
sets some internal state that instructs all new emacsclient instances to 
reverse colours. I believe that this should happen only if emacsclient is 
not opening the new frame as a console application.
