        Yes. The point is that while I find acceptable that user-level face
customizations are lost (in fact, not taken into account), Gnus should still
be able to launch properly. However, XEmacs throws an error if you try to
put-text-property a non existent face.

        But who knows where else the problem might occur ? Maybe it would be
simpler (and safer) to still defface the old names ?
