No, it is black indeed. But I found out, what it is. This line (shell-command (concat "java -jar " ditaa-jar-path " " args " " data-file " " out-file)) calls another java than this command line: java -jar ~/bin/ditaar.jar /tmp/org-ditaa5607fgk Yes, that seems to be the reason: /usr/bin/java is that free GNU java stuff that comes with Debian (some packages depend on it). It's deadslow and makes the black background. The commandline calls: sh$ which java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/java It's fast and makes the background white :-) `shell-command' seems to call /usr/bin/java instead of regarding my $PATH $sh echo $PATH /home/sebastian/bin/ext/maven/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin:/home/sebastian/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin Funny enough, the problem remains, if I start emacs from the bash prompt. Seems that `shell-command' searches the standard directories without regarding the environment? Don't know yet, if this is related to the problem: Debian/Java - it's a stupid combination really. I installed the SUN java stuff using apt-get - it's odd: sh$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 28. Okt 20:35 /etc/alternatives/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java Don't believe adjusting this helps, but I'd have to adjust all the other /etc/alternatives/java* stuff by hand anyway. Maybe I should file a bug report to Debian. Adjusting the java path in org-exp-blocks directly fixes it.
