Thank, that does the job. One more related question: I like to have a
black background and white (or wheat) foreground (and I'm not such a fan
of the color-themes because of their generally weak contrasts). In an X
session, I would start emacs with -fg black and -bg wheat flags. In an
console session, this looks strange, but starting emacs without those
two flags already gives a black background and a white foreground.
Now - what can I do when I want to have only one emacs-server running
and start several emacsclients in the console as well as in the X
session? Is there a way to start different emacsclients with different
fg/bg colors without always changing the colors explicitly with M-x
set-{background, foreground}-color when switching between the clients?
