23.0.50; face-problems with multy-tty

[Tassilo Horn <thorn+news@fastmail.fm>]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Since multi-tty has been merged, I start emacs as a detached server with
screen.  Here's the command line I use to reproduce the problem:

  screen -d -m -S test emacs -nw --eval "(setq server-name \"test\")" \
         -Q -l foo.el --funcall server-start

The file foo.el contains my custom-set-faces:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

Now I connect to that server with

    emacsclient -s test

which opens a new X11 frame.  Now all faces whose value doesn't start
with t or nil use the default face, e.g. all strings ("foo") in an elisp
file are simply black on white.  If I do `M-x customize-face RET RET' on
one of them, I see that `font-lock-string-face' has no customizations at
all (no checked boxes or inherited faces).  But ((class color)
(min-colors 88) (background light)) applies to this X11 frame.  It has a
white background and supports far more than 88 colors.

If I hit `C-x C-e' after the (custom-set-faces ...) section, all faces
work as expected again.

Ah, and the face of the buttons in the customize interface doesn't use
boxes, it's only underlined (Custom Button Unraised), because
`custom-raised-buttons' is nil.  IMHO in an X11 frame client it should
default to t, so that there are no user-visible differences between a
client using a X11 frame and a normal X11 emacs instance.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
