custom-theme-set-faces broken by --daemon ?

Hi,

I am using GNU Emacs: 23.0.91.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2009-03-07 on localhost
built from CVS checkout 2009-3-7

In my configuration file for the gui I use custom-theme-set-faces.
I recently started experimenting with --daemon mode.

To get the gui customization to load correctly I have placed the loading
of that configuration file on after-make-frame-functions.

Unfortunately I get "color not defined".

Is this a bug ?

Your description is rather sketchy, but what I guess is happening is
that you are trying to access a color that is not defined under tty
mode.  When Emacs is started in daemon mode, it opens a "tty" frame that
is disconnected from any input or output.  The color definitions in
`x-color' are not loaded until you create a graphical frame.
