Well something is interfering here! On what kind of system are you doing
this? Stand-alone PC or as part of a site network?
What happens if you do
emacs21 -vanilla ?
If it works as with Xemacs, that should cut out local and site-wide init
files. If that dosn't work have a look in the emacs21 user manual for the
equivalent command line options.
Instead of trying with ~/.Xdefaults, you could try something like this in
your .emacs (near the end!) Fidle with colours according to taste....
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-mode . light))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "Black"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(cursor-color . "red"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "LightGoldenRodYellow"))
