Re: customized default face doesn't work on new frames

[Richard Stallman]

    `face-set-after-frame-default' makes a special case of `(equal face
    'default)'.

I think the reason for this is that the default face works a different
way.  Setting the attributes of the default face alters frame parameters,
and those frame parameters are supposed to affect other frames.

The code that alters frame parameters when you change the default
face seems to be in Finternal_set_lisp_face_attribute in xfaces.c.
Can someone debug why it doesn't work?
