 Another alternative is to avoid a paren in column zero.  For example,
 in a Lisp string you could precede the paren with a backslash.

+applications, but not to Emacs, you could modify the file `Emacs.ad'
+(should be in the `/usr/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/' directory)
+so that it doesn't set the default background and foreground only for
+Emacs.  For example, make sure the following resources are either not
+present or commented out:
+
+   Emacs.default.attributeForeground
+   Emacs.default.attributeBackground
+   Emacs*Foreground
+   Emacs*Background
