Add missing foreback specifier values to the GUI Element face. They were missing for an unexplicable reason in my initial patch, leading to nil color instances in the whole hierarchy of widget faces. -------------------- ChangeLog entries follow: -------------------- src/ChangeLog addition: 2012-01-03 Didier Verna <didier@xemacs.org> * faces.c (complex_vars_of_faces): Add missing foreback specifier values to the GUI Element face.

78 Integrated support for several versions of emacs. New requests
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

79 from gnuclient cause the creation of new frames. Removed the
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

80 restriction on the length of the string passed to gnudoit. Later
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

81 added a server-done-function variable to control what happens to

3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
91 unless the GNU_SECURE variable is specified. Unix sockets are
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
92 created in a protected ancestral directory, since many Unix
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
93 variants don't enforce socket permissions properly. An internet
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:
diff changeset
94 socket accepting local connections is not opened by default
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

95 because this would make it possibly to override all security on
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

96 the unix socket. See the man page for details. Unless told to do

97 otherwise by a command-line argument, gnuclient and gnudoit now

107 the lisp part of the code, allowing gnuserv to work properly with

108 newer emacs versions. All the changes are listed in the changelog
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs

109 at the beginning of gnuserv.el. Also fixed up the man page to

112 Not all installations want this, and it's much harder to debug

3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22

117 of version 2.1). Although the code is completely new, credit is
3ecd8885ac67 Import from CVS: tag r21-2-22
cvs
parents:

118 due to Richard Caley <rjc@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> ... he wrote a
