I have not been setting any X resources, though the distribution I'm
using (openSUSE 10.3) does set default X resources for Emacs, though
"Emacs.FontBackend: xft" is not among them. I just put that in
~/.Xresources and started a fresh Emacs, but I don't see any difference:
the broken underlining and Gnus Summary buffer problems I documented are
still present.
