Window background color in text area (emacs-unicode-2 --with-gtk --with-xft)

[Fabrice Ferino]

Areas in all buffer displays (including minibuffer) not filled with text are 
painted with
the window background color (gray). This happens on builds made on openSuSE 
10.1. The problem 
is not occuring with the same sources built on Fedora 6 -- which uses a 
different version 
of the GTK+ library. 
A picture of the problem can be found in 
http://uncle-toby.livejournal.com/9536.html. 
Emacs was started from the build src/ directory (i.e. before running make 
install) 
on a new installation of openSuSE 10.1.  


In GNU Emacs 23.0.0.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.10)
 of 2006-11-22 on linux-sz140
X server distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.60900000
configured using `configure '--with-gtk' '--with-xft' '--enable-font-backend''
