Hi Henrique, Sorry to be so slow with this. I was hoping somebody on xemacs-beta would solve it for me. :-) Today I followed your recipe, hoping to find some clue as to what is going on. But I didn't reproduce the problem. I have gnuclient running in a TTY, and the modeline colors on the X11 frame did NOT revert back to the default colors. So something else is going on here. Do you have any other XEmacs packages installed besides the ones you listed already? Thanks for looking into this Jerry. Not a big problem as I created a function to reset the modeline, but your inability to replicate made me realize what is different in my case. I set the background and foreground colors of XEmacs via xresources with entries like: *background: #304060 *foreground: White and with those the modeline reset under the conditions I described. If I delete those entries (which I've carried for about 20 years...) and do it from within xemacs via set-face-(fore|back)ground 'default, then the modeline doesn't reset. So something is now different but with a workaround. Some of my mh-e colors are now different though :-) Hmmmm. I think I'm out of my depth here. It's probably worth sending a message to xemacs-beta with this new information. (Incidentally, I'm about to kick off a new build that fixes your other bug, plus a few other things that I've been working on fixes for.) This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Description of problem: Modeline processing in stock Fedora 15 seems a bit broken when frames are opened on different device types, e.g. x11 and tty. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Not sure which xemacs package is responsible but these are the ones installed on one system with the problem: xemacs-21.5.31-1.fc15.x86_64 xemacs-common-21.5.31-1.fc15.x86_64 xemacs-el-21.5.31-1.fc15.x86_64 xemacs-filesystem-21.5.31-1.fc15.noarch xemacs-info-21.5.31-1.fc15.noarch xemacs-packages-base-20110502-1.fc15.noarch xemacs-packages-base-el-20110502-1.fc15.noarch xemacs-packages-extra-20110502-1.fc15.noarch xemacs-packages-extra-el-20110502-1.fc15.noarch How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a new xterm make sure DISPLAY is set to an X11 display 2. run xemacs -vanilla & so no customization is done. An xemacs X11 frame visiting the *scratch* buffer will show on the display. Device type will be x11. 3. in the *scratch* buffer execute the commands below to change the background and foreground colors of the modeline. and start gnuserv. (set-face-background 'modeline "Gray75" ) (set-face-foreground 'modeline "Black" ) (gnuserv-start) 4. back to the xterm, unset the DISPLAY environment variable, e.g. unset DISPLAY or export DISPLAY='' 5. again in xterm invoke gnuclient to start a new xemacs frame on the terminal. Device type will be tty. Actual results: Modeline on original x11 frame reverts back to the default colors Expected results: Modeline in x11 frame should not change. This was the behavior on F14 Additional info: Also sent a message to xemacs-beta dev list
