I understand this.
But all other faces are correctly set for example, those in org.el. If I
set the spec to:
(defface dictem-database-description-face
'((((background light)) (:weight bold :foreground "darkblue"))
(((background dark)) (:weight bold :foreground "white")))
"The face that is used for displaying a database description"
:group 'dictem-faces)
It will initialize correctly in both xterm and X.
Seems there is a bug in Emacs.
