frame-parameters is a function, but not interactive, so you cannot
invoke it with M-x.  You could paste the following line

(last (frame-parameters))

into the *scratch* buffer and type C-j with the cursor at the end of the
line.  That will print the value into the buffer.

And no .Xdefaults either?  Also, what does "xrdb -query" print?

I would not trust that information, I get the same output from xfsinfo
but I'm positive that xfs _is_ running here.

All right, now I see I have that package and the nimbus fonts too.  But
Emacs does not care about them.

1472 packages not upgraded?  That are more than I have _installed_,
dude.  Didn't you say your system was fairly up to date? ;-)
