I was a little hasty there - I just switched from GNOME to XFCE4 and my
.emacs is working again.  I hardly ever use GNOME, so maybe this hasn't
changed in the last few days at all.

Evaluating the (custom-set-faces ...) s-expression once inside Emacs does
set the mode-line to yellow in GNOME.  It just doesn't work from .emacs if I
have the other line in my .emacs as well.
