Hi a second attempt at including minimal line-number support in the default Emacs themes. This has made me think that maybe the best place to make the line-number-face inherit from fringe would be in the line-number code... This might mean that we need an agreement that the fringe and the line-number are things that are semantically similar or, at least, different enough from the buffer. Just my .2 cents, /Pedro A.
