Not that I remember -- but maybe I just got used to it.

Interesting discussion.  Not sure I follow all of it, though.
Something else to learn about.  As far as I can tell, I have not
overridden colors in any of my configs so this dark blue text on black
background is the system default.  So, I expect that it's harder to
read for others, too.

BTW -- where's Xterm-col.ad?

Now, if I had all my configs under cvs then I could cvs diff and see
what it just changed from -- apt doesn't know my previous version,
does it?
