I set my background by customizing the `default' (and _also_ via
.Xresource, since otherwise emacs flashes and goes crazy during
startup). The custom-theme stuff doesn't seem to be able to cope with
that.
Here's a recipe:
(1) emacs -Q
(2) Evaluate via "C-:" or something:
(custom-set-faces '(default ((t (:background "black" :foreground "white")))))
(3) M-x customize-themes
(4) Try the various themes; none will succeed in changing the
background color.

Yeah that's a lot more friendly. [A good M-x interface would still be
nice of course.]
