speedbar select function face

[Tim Johnson]

Using emacs22 on (compiled for x) on kubuntu 7.10

>From the speedbar, I can select a file. By clicking on the
'+' to the left of the filename, I will then get a list of
functions. When I click on the function name, the beginning
of the function is brought into focus in the editor frame.

The line of the focus is highlighted. I would like find the name
of that face so that I can change the color. As it is now, I
can't read anything under it.

I'm accustomed to use (what-cursor-position 1) to get a text
property, but that doesn't seem to work in this case.

Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks
