More than likely.

The attached patch is what I am using locally and it fixes all problems
for me. I also tested bug #16434 and it works fine w/ the patch applied.
Basically it puts everything from X resources back to be applied first
and everything else on-top. Thus everything else is taking priority.

Consider the patch a raw version and a RFC-- missing proper changes to
the comments and I'd probably pull the conditional
(no-init-from-x-resources) up into make-face-x-resource-internal and
change the usage throughout the rest of the file.

But I'm not too well versed with Emacs' deep inner workings, and even
though it makes sense to me :), I might be completely off and just
fixing the symptoms. If so, I'd gladly help in finding the proper root
cause and learning a bit more in the process...

Hope that helps...
