In-Reply-To: <200309282347.h8SNlEi12333@raven.dms.auburn.edu> (message from Luc Teirlinck on Sun, 28 Sep 2003 18:47:14 -0500 (CDT))

   ... I guess the user will see that it has no effect.  Then he
   _will_ read the documentation.

If he sees that it has no effect he is not going to assume the lack of
effect is a feature; he is going to assume it is a bug.  Worse, there
is a good chance he will not read the documentation.  Unfortunately,
this is the way many people are, even some Emacs users.  :-(

   The user could have legitimate reasons to customize the face, even
   if he is using GTK.

Yes, you are right.  Very true.
