<div><br>I was a little hasty there - I just switched from GNOME to XFCE4 and my .emacs is working again.&nbsp; I hardly ever use GNOME, so maybe this hasn&#39;t changed in the last few days at all.<br><br>Evaluating the (custom-set-faces ...) s-expression once inside Emacs does set the mode-line to yellow in GNOME.&nbsp; It just doesn&#39;t work from .emacs if I have the other line in my .emacs as well.
