I still don't understand: if I do

   echo '(setq default-frame-alist (quote ((background-color . "blue") (font . 
"fixed"))))' >~/tmp/.emacs; HOME=$HOME/tmp emacs

I get the same result: a blue background and an ugly font, both on the
initial frame and on subsequent ones I might create with C-x 5 2.
