bug#25474: 26.0.50; Buffer content invisible

[Ivor Durham]

Sorry for the imprecision: What I meant by "multiple .emacs files" is that I 
use multiple accounts on the same Linux system for different consulting clients 
so I would have to make sure I copied the patched .emacs to all accounts (or 
link to a public version). Not a big deal but easier to fix in one place.

I also use the Linux system both remotely from my laptop and locally from the 
keyboard so I have two different X implementations to contend with, the one on 
the Fedora Linux system itself and the VcXsrv on my laptop.

I'm not sure what "avoid updating multiple .emacs files" means.  Ivor can 
customize the frame parameter in ‘default-frame-alist’ in which case it applies 
to all frames that "understand" the parameter - in the particular case to all 
frames of a >= 26.1 Emacs build.  It can also be added manually to this list 
based on the ‘window-system’ used (`x' in the case at hand) preferably via 
‘customize-set-variable’ in which case it will apply to X frames only.
