OK. (The configuration is probably done via
(set-face-background 'default "Black")
(set-face-foreground 'default "Yellow")
but there are other ways, especially in XEmacs, which has a ludicrous
degree of (over-)configurability where faces are concerned).

Ah, thank you RMS for `initial-frame-alist' versus
`default-frame-alist'...

Not necessarily. In any case, this is easily resolvable.
Try (as a horrible kludge) sticking in
(setq default-frame-alist initial-frame-alist)
--- (disclaimer; at some point, they changed to plists in XEmacs, but I
can't remember if this happened before or after the Emacs/XEmacs split;
they may be default-frame-plist and initial-frame-plist in your Emacs.)
