Thanks for suggestion.
I eventualy obtain the desired behavior by specifying all the face

I usually prefer the lucid version of emacs, but it's not in the
repository my company set up for the machine I use (it's a mirror
RHEL, containing just a sub-set of the packages). Even emacs itself

I mean, always starting from a clean context (that is without any
running server),
emacs
reades the resources, while
emacsclient --create-frame --alternate-editor=emacs
does not
