Previously, I was using Fedora. I made quite a few customizations of how emacs looks through .Xresources and .Xdefaults files. Now, I just copied my "old" .Xresources and .Xdefaults into my home directory on ubuntu and a very strange thing happens: when I start emacs up, for a splitting second it looks as prescribed in .Xresources and .Xdefaults, but then it immediately changes to look as it did before I changed .Xresources and .Xdefaults. Why this strange behaviour and how to fix it? Thanks a million, Dmitry. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-customizing-the-way-emacs-looks-tf4443519.html#a12678368 Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
