Hi Pete

Using process of elimination, I finally locate the offending line in my "long" ~/.emacs. :)

  (require 'font-menus)

Can you add it to your ~/.emacs and see if you can replicate the same problem I encountered earlier?

If I recall correctly, it was added to my ~/.emacs way back when using in Emacs 21.1.

It seems that combination of the 3 below can't co-exist.

  Emacs 24.1.1
  (require 'font-menus)
  (setq-default whitespace-style '(face tabs trailing))

However, any combinations of any 2 of the 3 above are OK.

BTW, I can live without font-menus if I have to choose between it and whitespace-mode.  But, it'll be nice if I can have both.

Thanks.
