Hi.
Debian has just upgraded Emacs 24.3 to 24.4 and one thing stopped
working: It seems that Emacs 24.4 does not respect all the X resources
that I used to specify (for many, many, many years) in my .Xresources
file.
Going back to 24.3 makes the configuration work again. Going forward to
24.4 makes it stop. Tested multiple times just in case I was going nuts.
In particular, I set the geometry, foreground and background colors with
the following:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Emacs*cursorColor: red
Emacs*geometry: 100x45
Emacs*Background: #002540
Emacs*Foreground: azure3
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Is this a known problem? Is there any extra information needed to solve
this potential regression?
Thanks in advance for any help,

This is from my .Xresources file, but they are also spit with xrdb -query. *BUT*, in the mean time, I did the following: * I am using the MATE desktop environment (essentially, GNOME 2) and I get the X resources ignored with Emacs 24.4, but everything worked just fine with Emacs 24.3. * I tried installing and seeing the behavior with LXDE, GNOME 3 Classic (regular GNOME 3 just crashed), and XFCE. Emacs 24.4 loaded the resources just fine with these. * Then, I became more adventurous and spent a lot of time git bisecting the emacs tree and after a lot of electrical energy/heat, I discovered that the first bad commit is, indeed, related to faces and X resources. The commit is 15e14b165dcbc6566a0459b0d5e66f89080f569e and right at the bottom of the comment is * faces.el (face-spec-set): Use face-spec-recalc in all cases. (face-spec-reset-face): Don't assign extra properties in temacs. (face-spec-recalc): Apply X resources too. The commit (in more than one place) is: https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/commit/15e14b165dcbc6566a0459b0d5e66f89080f569e http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=15e14b165dcbc6566a0459b0d5e66f89080f569e I am attaching the git bisect log.
