bug#17085: No dark backgrounds in git emacs

[Clemens Schüller]

Hello!

Usually I compile my emacs from git sources:

Now i changed my color theme from leuven to cyberpunk. Leuven has a
white background, cyberpunk a black one.

In my case i can see the black background for a very short time an then
it is white again.

The only remedy for this error is to start emacs with die -Q option or
to install an emacs from the repo of my os. But this emacs is very
outdated:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.6) of 2013-11-11 on orion
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


How can I fix this error?

This is a duplicate of 16694, which has a patch to fix it.

As a workaround, re-load the theme after starting Emacs.

Thanks for the hint to 16694 - with the 3 patches the problem is solved :-)

Did someone apply these patches in the git repo?
