Thanks!

I just compared this functionality in CVS Emacs with Emacs 21.  In
Emacs 21 it is easier to select a face because there is this "Select
Face" button which presents you with a minibuffer prompt including
auto-completion of face names.  Additionally you can change the faced
used for inheritance right away.

The latter functionality is not so important for me and can lead to
strange results if click on all the "Show" buttons for faces with
multiple nested inheritance (the `font-latex-title-*-face' faces in
AUCTeX are an example for this).  But it would be very nice to have
the completion mechanism back and maybe a link to the face used for
inheritance in case it should not be displayed right away as in Emacs
21.
