- Gee jonathan, I've experienced the same problem and I can't help you.
- I'm replying to your message so you won't think the messages that
- you post to this news group are invisible ... :^)

- The first problem you mentioned looks like a bug but the second is a
- problem in your definition. The rules for classes in the .Xdefaults
- dictates that if the first character begins with an X the second letter
- must be capitalized also, ie XEmacs, but in this case the class isn't
- xemacs but rather Emacs.
-
- Here are the emacs entries from my .Xdefaults file.
-
- Emacs*font: 9x15
- emacs*Background: LightBlue
- emacs*Foreground: black
- Emacs*bitmapIcon: on
- Emacs*Cursor: red
- Emacs*Geometry: 80x48-10-30
- emacs*Mouse: green
- emacs*iconName: tec
-
- Note that you can freely mix class entries and command name entries.
- The class entries apply to all things emacs while the command (lower
- case) entries only apply to the command called emacs. If emacs is renamed
- they wouldn't be found. These work on my sun.
