When I load Emacs, it shudders and flashes spasmodically as it transforms itself from the white background with a small font and a menubar to the black background with a large font and no menubar. I've considered running dump-emacs (but I can't get it to work, can anyone?) - and other than that I don't know how to change the style of the default frame. Is there a way to change the load order so that Emacs never goes into the small font, white background mode? Maybe I should rebuild by hand? Any suggestions? What are people using to deal with heavily customized emaces?
