This is the actual error! When I have your seven lines

	(message "Enabling whitespace mode ...")
	(require 'whitespace)
	(set-face-background 'whitespace-tab "lime green")
	(setq-default whitespace-style '(tabs trailing))
	(global-whitespace-mode t)
	(message "Enabled whitespace mode.")
	(setq-default whitespace-style '(face tabs trailing))

in my .emacs it launches and works correctly, including only one "WS" in the mode-line. Obviously later in your init file something tries to manipulate the variable font-lock-defaults-alist which does not exist in GNU Emacs 24. First correct this error!
