'(default ((t (:stipple nil :background "DarkSlateGray" :foreground "wheat" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil :overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 135 :width normal :family "adobe-courier"))))) the specified colors appear, but empty areas of the screen--those beyond the last character on the line or in the buffer--come out in a different color, a little lighter than DarkSlateGray. I did M-x list-faces-display, and I saw that no face had a background equivalent to the color of those empty areas. I tried substituting a couple of other background colors. I tried "black" and "blue". In those cases, the problem did not happen: the screen appeared black or blue down to the end. Does anyone know where that color is coming from? I tried to study the display code to figure it out but I can't find it. I suspect that the cause has to do with what GC is specified when x_clear_end_of_line runs; does anyone know where that is specified?
