Emacs oddity under KDE2.1.1
I took to heart the encouragement of several folks here and installed KDE 2.1.1. I haven't yet seen any screens that ask me about anti-aliasing, so I guess I'll deal with that issue later on. Generally KDE 2.1.1 seems to be working just fine for me. But I have observed one annoying oddity. In my .Xdefaults file I have these lines (which I've had for a couple of years): Emacs.font: 6x13 Emacs.geometry: 89x68-16+26 Emacs.background: seashell1 Emacs.bitmapIcon: off They've always given me an Emacs window with a uniform seashell1 background. But since starting with KDE 2.1.1, the background of text characters is white, not seashell1. In other words, on those portions of the screen where text is displayed, the background is white; but on the other parts of the screen the background is seashell1 as it should be. Anyone know what might be going on? Paul Abrahams

Is it the option to use KDE attributes for non-KDE programs that might be turned on? -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogic, with just a little bit more effort." -- A. P. J.

Where does that option lurk? And is it possible to use it selettively so that KDE attributes are applied to some non-KDE programs but not all? (The default setting seems to produce nicer Netscape windows but worse Emacs windows). Paul Abrahams
