23.0.60; Solaris 5.8 version hangs (X resources for faces) |

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
The following 3 lines in function face-set-after-frame-default in faces.el
cause emacs to hang at startup (before the initial frame pops up).
;; X resouces for the default face are applied during
;; x-create-frame.
(and (not (eq face 'default))
(memq (window-system frame) '(x w32 mac))
(make-face-x-resource-internal face frame))
When I evaluate the function below in scratch buffer with
(face-set-after-frame-default-tst (selected-frame))
I get: Wrong type argument: font, unspecified
(defun face-set-after-frame-default-tst (frame &optional parameters)
"Initialize the frame-local faces of FRAME.
Calculate the face definitions using the face specs, custom theme
settings, X resources, and `face-new-frame-defaults'.
Finally, apply any relevant face attributes found amongst the
frame parameters in PARAMETERS and `default-frame-alist'."
(dolist (face (nreverse (face-list)))
(condition-case ()
(progn
;; Initialize faces from face spec and custom theme.
(face-spec-recalc face frame)
;; X resouces for the default face are applied during
;; x-create-frame.
(and (not (eq face 'default))
(memq (window-system frame) '(x w32 mac))
(make-face-x-resource-internal face frame))
;; Apply attributes specified by face-new-frame-defaults
(internal-merge-in-global-face face frame))
;; Don't let invalid specs prevent frame creation.
(error nil))))
It's the face 'menu' that causes the error.
As a workaround I've now added a font spec for the menu face to my
Xresources file and the error is gone, e.g.

One nice thing about egotists: they don't talk about other people.

I don't understand it either. Since no one else has been able to
reproduce this problem, I guess it's better to install the workaround.
