Any suggestion in this > respect would be very welcome! AFAIU, the problem manifests itself in the inability of Emacs to load the colors it wants to use. So one possible workaround would be to find out which colors it _can_ load, and customize the 'fringe' face to use one of those colors. To find which colors are available, use "M-x list-colors-display".
