bug#16694: bugs #16694/#16378: Patches

[Barry OReilly]

In face-set-after-frame-default, a function untouched in Chong's
changes, there is:

  (let ((window-system-p (memq (window-system frame) '(x w32))))
[...]
        ;; Initialize faces from face spec and custom theme.
        (face-spec-recalc face frame)
        ;; X resources for the default face are applied during
        ;; `x-create-frame'.
        (and (not (eq face 'default)) window-system-p
         (make-face-x-resource-internal face frame))

But the

  (and (not (eq face 'default)) window-system-p ...)

is completely pointless, since Chong's changes have face-spec-recalc
call make-face-x-resource-internal unconditionally. On a hunch, I
tried:

with no other patches, and './src/emacs -r' worked as expected.

Should face-spec-recalc take responsibility for calling
make-face-x-resource-internal, or leave it to the caller as before the
offending changes? A patch along those lines also allows './src/emacs
-r' to work:

Someone who knows this code better than me should decide what's The
Right Thing.
