Hmm, I wonder if you're right?  I've just compiled aterm and both emacs 
problems (reverse video and highlighting of .cc code) persist.  Also, I've 
tried running emacs from the menus on the taskbar -- is this what you mean 
by running it as an X application -- and I still get the highlighting 
problem; I don't know how to adjust the menus so that emacs is passed the 
'-rv' switch.

I wonder...  Yesterday I got access to Red Hat's beta 7.2 release and fired 
up emacs from KDE.  The highlighting problem was fixed but I still couldn't 
use emacs in reverse video, and my eyese are screaming at me to return to 
white on black ;-)
