I've just pushed a change which makes M-x compile and M-x grep work
without forcing font-lock to be enabled.  They also make the
error-parsing lazier, so it may be faster in some cases (tho probably
slower in others as well: speed was not the main focus of my coding).

Subject: 23.1; can't turn off font-lock-mode globally

I find font-lock modes to be illegible and highly annoying.  And I
can't seem to find a way to turn them off, completely, across the
board, entirely, throughout my emacs.

(global-font-lock-mode 0) doesn't seem to work.  I have it in my
.emacs.el and I'm setting it manually and still when I visit a new
file, or any of a number of popup buffers arrive, they still have
illegible font-lock color settings.

If there is a way, I should be able to find it either from a search
for "font-lock" on the info page or through M-x apropos font-lock.

If there is no simple way to turn it off, then that is a bug.

(I'm reporting on emacs from ubuntu-10.10 amd64 server, but I have the
same problem on many other versions.)
