Thanks for the reply. I tried this command and found face properties
for the text. The descriptions of the face looked normal and didn't
offer any clues as to what may be causing the original problem. How
ever, on experimenting more, I found that emacs frame is always coming
up with the same background color (very light grey) irrespective of
what I pass with "-bg" option. In fact, the color I pass with "-bg" is
what is showing up as background for all the text. Does this ring any
bell? I looked up "frame-parameters" and compared it's value with the
one in old emacs and all the values are more or less same. BTW, I am
trying this on OpenSuSE.
Thanks,
Raghu
