Oops: someone pointed out that what I meant was not in the last two lines
any more. So let's say "the last 4 lines before the Note on SHH access
to CVS".

That's one correct way to fix it, yes.
Another (better IMO) would be to customize your faces in a different way,
e.g. by using M-x customize-face.
> When (and how) do you know when to use (require)?
Good question. My take on it is that if you need (require 'foo) it's
either that you're not doing things in the recommended way, or that there's
a bug/misfeature (a missing autoload or somesuch).
But sometimes the bug/misfeatures is too difficult to fix compared to the
benefit, so such problems do exist without being fixed.
