Hi,
if i want to create a new frame with a new background using
default-frame-alist, emacs create a new frame with the new background
but only in the first part of the buffer displayed, the other part use
the initial X setting (i.e what is in .Xressources).
#+BEGIN_SRC lisp
(let ((default-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil)
(width . 80)
(height . 24)
(left-fringe . 0)
(border-width . 0)
(menu-bar-lines . 0)
(tool-bar-lines . 0)
(unsplittable . t)
(top . 24)
(left . 450)
(background-color . "LightSteelBlue")
(foreground-color . "DarkGoldenrod")
(alpha . nil)
(fullscreen . nil))))
#+END_SRC
With these settings, if i create new frame with
switch-to-buffer-other-frame or make-frame-command,
you can see here the result:

When using emacs -Q (no X settings) this doesn't happen.
