Hello, the original submitter of this bug probably was not aware of the Option in the style dialog to deselect loading of all those app-defaults Files which really confuse xemacs and override the settings chosen and save in the xemacs options menu. Unfortunately, deselecting 'Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps' does have no effect with our current KDE-Version (Debian-Packages Version 990205-1.1-1). Yes, I have restarted KDE after changing the option. Maybe this is fixed in a newer version, maybe there really is a problem. Best regards, E.
