If there was nothing referencing Emacs in /etc/X11/app-defaults then wherever those resources are being set must be in your home directory.

My suggestion to run it in the terminal was a test to see if the highlighting colors come up sane. There are several places where X resources can be set. Default on Debian these days appear to be /etc/X11/Xresources and /etc/X11/app-defaults. In your home directory it can become a mess as X will look at several hidden files probably not limited to .Xresources, .Xdefaults, .xinitrc, .xsession, and .xsessionrc. Any of these can source other files! At this point, I think you need to find any file on your system that has the Emacs X resources that xrdb showed and comment them out. Is it possible that you had the emacs-lucid package installed and did not purge it when you removed it? I'm just grasping at straws here. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/X-Resources.html - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
