I have similar problems. No matter what customization I do, it goes
away - despite being in my init file! I wind up with Emacs just as it
was originally handed to me. Whatever customizations I make are there
for the duration of my session, but that is it! I'm also running 21.2
-- 21.2.1 to be precise. I'm about to yank my hair out on this -
someone please give us a heads-up!

If you're running KDE as your desktop environment, you need to read the
problems file by clicking on Help -> Emacs Known Problems (C-h p). KDE
is giving you severe pain ... that was my problem anyway. Just search
for "face" in the problem file - you'll see it.
HTH,
