If you use KDE 2.x, this might be the problem.... KDE tries to change
the colors of non-KDE applications to match your KDE settings.
From a previous posting:
=====================
In KDE, go to Preferences/Look&Feel/Style, there's a checkbox that says
"apply fonts and colors to
non-KDE apps"
If you uncheck that, it should not interfere with your Emacs (you may
need to re-start KDE).
But, if you want to keep that feature turned on without interfering with
your Emacs, modify the
file Emacs.ad (search in
/usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/Emacs.ad). That's where you tell
KDE how to set the Xresources to the Emacs application.
I have the following lines commented out so that they don't change my
Emacs colors:
----
!Emacs.default.attributeForeground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND
!Emacs.default.attributeBackground: WINDOW_BACKGROUND
!Emacs*Foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND
!Emacs*Background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND
;Emacs*font: FIXED_FONT
-----
In this way, KDE still changes the colors/fonts of other applications
AND also some things in
Emacs (like the Menubar for example, which matches the KDE-menus
colors/font).
Good luck!
