Example: http://i.imgur.com/RwAk4.jpg
The top part of the image is what some PHP code looks like, which
clearly isn't right (the bottom part shows selection and reveals the
"missing" parts of the code). It's kind of hard to write code while it's
like this... :P

Additionally, the minibuffer text is also black on black. So it's not
even easy to customise the faces...
