Why is the last one happening?Because text-mode frames aren't sensitive to X resources: they don't use X services to display text.
Thanks. But "emacs -nw" is a text-mode frame, and it has dark background. It's only "emacsclient -nw" that has light background. Furthermore setting the emacs global variable "inverse-video" to t does not change any behaviour, so it must be unrelated to the Xresources.
I am assuming that emacsclient is just a thin C program that manages the console itself in the "nw" case, but in the X case it communicates to emacs server and does not manage anything by itself. This could explain the different behaviour but still sounds like a bug to me.
