It appears that slime overwrites some color-theme variable, making the color selection option on the Emacs menu bar (under Tools) pop up this error message:
face-attribute: Wrong type argument: symbolp, (slime-repl-inputed-output-face)
My default.el has
... (require 'color-theme) ; wild colors ... (require 'slime)
This has been occurring for awhile, I guess that color-theme is not that popular. I like using colors to help separate what username is working on what problem. Are there better alternatives?
