Martin,
When I tried to instrument those two functions, there was no problem
with face-spec-recalc, but face-spec-set-2 refused to instrument
with the following complaint:
edebug-syntax-error: Invalid read syntax: "Expected lambda expression"
(defun face-spec-set-2 (face frame spec)
"Set the face attributes of FACE on FRAME according to SPEC."
(let* ((attrs (face-spec-choose spec frame)))
(while attrs
(let ((attribute (car attrs))
(value (car (cdr attrs))))
;; Support some old-style attribute names and values.
(case attribute
(:bold (setq attribute :weight value (if value 'bold
'normal)))
(:italic (setq attribute :slant value (if value 'italic 'normal)))
((:foreground :background)
^
this is the cursor marking the syntax error

When I edebug face-spec-recalc and attempt to create a new frame, each
time I press 'T' to Trace Fast the function appears to be re-entered,
and this appears to go on indefinitely?
Additionally a frame *is* created now, but it does not appear
automatically on the screen - however, it can be accessed via the
Buffers->Frames menu, and it does not use the colour scheme specified
in .emacs.
Also, when edebug reaches face-spec-recalc, I get the following
console message with each subsequent step of edebug (sorry, I don't
know if this is relevant, I am a complete novice when it comes to
emacs debugging!):
(emacs:21944): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_box_pack_start: assertion
`child->parent ==NULL' failed
cheers,
ian
