Yes, I think this is a dup of #25228 "custom-set-faces from init file

~/.emacs ignored".  Does adding

  (define-key special-event-map [config-changed-event]
    'dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event)

to your .emacs help?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. It looks indeed like a duplicate of #25228, sorry for not properly checking.

I did the change as you asked, but it didn't help. I also tried the workaround mentionned in the other bug:

	(defalias 'dynamic-setting-handle-config-changed-event 'ignore)

and this one made it work (I removed your line).

Just to provide complete information, as it seems the problem is related to Gconf and Gnome stuff, I am using Xfce4 for my X11 environment.

Thanks,

François
