Weird, it should run slower if anything (because of the echo-help).

This should not have changed between 1.50 and 1.59 either.

Set basically copies an empty face to `default', then add the
specified properties.   Apparently, an empty default face will give
you black on white.

No.  What happens is basically:

	(make-face 'custom-face-empty)
	(copy-face 'custom-face-empty 'default)
	(make-face-italic 'default)

Evaluating this in the scratch buffer doesn't give me an italic font
either.   Maybe an XEmacs bug?  Or is there a better way to "reset" a
face?
