This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

(Before I get started, many congratulations on the release of Emacs
21; it's really quite awesome.)

I have the following lines in the Customize block of my custom-file:

 '(modeline ((t (:foreground "white" :background "darkslateblue"))))
 '(modeline-buffer-id ((t (:foreground "white" :background "darkslateblue"))))
 '(modeline-mousable ((t (:foreground "white" :background "darkslateblue"))))
 '(modeline-mousable-minor-mode ((t (:foreground "white" :background 
"darkslateblue"))))

When I launch Emacs on a TTY with no arguments, Emacs inverse-videos
the modeline, so it appears to have a white background and a blue
foreground. M-x customize-face RET modeline RET says this:

            [...]
            [X] Inverse-video: [Value Menu] On
            [X] Foreground: [Value Menu] Color: white       (sample)
            [X] Background: [Value Menu] Color: darkslateblue  (sample)
            [...]

This is not what I want, as you can probably imagine from the
customize settings that actually appear in the file.

Now, here's where things get interesting: When I run Emacs with some
file or files as command-line arguments, my modeline appears as I want
it to, blue background and white foreground. When I M-x customize-face
RET modeline RET now, it says this:

            [...]
            [ ] Inverse-video: [Value Menu] *
            [X] Foreground: [Value Menu] Color: white       (sample)
            [X] Background: [Value Menu] Color: darkslateblue  (sample)
            [...]

Note that under X11, the modeline always appears as I like it to.

It often happens that I wake up at night and begin to think of a
serious problem and decide that I must tell the Pope about it. Then I
wake up completely and remember that *I am the Pope.*
