Re: Mode-line face bug

[Richard Stallman]

    I mean the mode-line face setting in my code is only effective in the
    initial frame. In any frames created by 'C-x 5 2' the mode-line face
    is changed to the default as follows:

You should have said that explicitly the first time!

Anyway, now I see.  And I agree it is a bug.  I suspect that the code
for creating a frame is letting the X resource for the face override
the customization of the face.

Could you look at your X resources (do `xrdb -query') and see if you
have a resource Emacs.mode-line.attributeBackground?
