I think there is some confusion about X resources here.
By default the X windowing system doesn't set any of the things that
we've been talking about. If you start with X and no special
configuration then Emacs uses the Emacs default settings.
X resources are something that someone sets. In this case you have set
an X resource for some reason that has interferred with Emacs'
functioning. The X windowing system itself has not created that
setting. Someone doing configuration has created that setting.
Maybe you copied an X resource snippet from the internet and that has
caused this.
At an outside chance it may be the distro that you are using that has
added this X resource. If so, that is a bug in the distro and should be
reported to the distro maintainers.
To check whether that is the cause you can create a new user account.
If "emacs" is run from that new account it should look like "emacs -Q".
If it does then a user-added X-resource is the problem. If the same
contrast problem occurs then the the distro probably has a bug.
This is the first time I've heard of a problem like this for Emacs. I
don't think it warrants a change to the way Emacs works.
