[Bug 421261] Re: xterm background colour used to be black, now white

 

Hi, is anyone working on this?  It's really annoying 8-).

I ran uxterm under strace and it appears to only look for UXTerm and
_NOT_ UXTerm-color resources.  Since x11-common is responsible for
making it use -color, I looked for uxterm opening that file in the
strace, but it appears to ignore that file.  If I manually xrdb
-override  that file, it works as expected.

In conclusion, the root bug seems to be that uxterm does not (or no
longer) consults /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common   Could this be a
regression in Xt?  Can this be fixed, maybe?  Or is this an unintended
side-effect of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=570447 ?

Thanks,
  Martin
