I notice that now, a `default' face setting set/saved with customize only
gets applied to the current/first frame -- subsequent frames created with
`C-x 5 2' end up using the `Emacs*Font:' xrdb setting instead (and
similarly for non-font attributes).

[I didn't notice before because I had the two settings set to identical values.]

Non-`default' faces set with customize seem to be applied properly to all 
frames.
