   I just put 18.51 emacs up with X11. I have a few comments and
   questions. First of all, 18.51 X11 support is a vast improvement over
   18.50, and I would encourage other X11 emacs users to switch. My
   compliments to the implementors. Now the questions:

   Why does the cursor change color? I have the resource "emacs*Cursor"
   set to "LightGray" (obviously I am using a color machine), but some of
   the time the cursor is the foreground color instead of the cursor
   color.

There are patches to make the distributed version of X11 support work
better, send me mail and I'll send them to you.

   Why is the icon always Black + White and not the colors chosen for the
   main window (ie foreground, background, border)?

The window manager decided what colors the icon will be, the ones so
far (uwm, awm) don't happen to do this (even though its a good idea,
or at least should be an option.)

   Why isn't there an IconGeometry resource?

No good reason, it just hasn't been added.
