Hello all,

I noticed when I opened Emacs in console mode that the variable
`default-frame-alist' from .emacs is used. Is there a way to skip this
setting in console mode? Under X Windows I use a colored background (set
by `default-frame-alist'), but when I start Emacs in console mode I get
a white text on white background. Moreover, none of the settings I have
in `default-frame-alist' makes sense in console mode.

Wrap the offending section of .emacs in (when (display-graphic-p) ...)?

This works for me:

(when window-system
  (setq default-frame-alist
   ...))

Cordially, Ismael

Thanks! One minor drawback is that I can't use the customization feature
to set default-frame-alist with this approach.
