• Emacs problems

    From Dieter Britz@21:1/5 to All on Tue Sep 19 13:24:19 2017
    I have a new Ubuntu system and installed emacs. It has a
    couple of problems.

    Although when I do into customize, then faces, the top,
    highlight face, claims to use a light goldenrod background
    (which is my preference), when I select a bit of text, the
    background is not coloured.

    Secondly, after I exit from emacs, I get a string of these
    warnings,

    (emacs:11710): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-new'
    for stock: Icon 'document-new' not present in theme Adwaita

    (emacs:11710): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open'
    for stock: Icon 'document-open' not present in theme Adwaita


    etc. What is this telling me? What can I do to fix it?

    For this you (also) need to customize the "region" face which is
    the "[b]asic face for highlighting the region".

    M-x report-emacs-bug RET

    You might be able to fix it in your configuration, but it's also
    likely that Emacs's window management code is making an invalid
    assumption that had best be fixed.

    One way to avoid seeing the annoying messages is to start Emacs
    from the GUI rather than from a terminal emulator.
