Hi. I am using Emacs 20.3 (default install from Potato -- white background, black foreground) and have noticed that whenever I create a new frame, the mode line in that frame is not the traditional reverse video (white on black in my case) but is rather in the same color style as the rest of the frame. Note that this only applies to new frames spawned from an existing emacs instance -- the initial frame created when emacs first starts up has the correct color behavior for the mode line.
Any advice on how to treat this? (Or, more importantly, what might be causing it?) Dan
