OK, seems that this fixed the default background colors, but something
is overriding other settings. In addition to the background colors,
something is messing with the vt100 colors and it's NOT in
/usr/share/control-center-2.0/xrdb/*.ad
I had to copy the vt100 section from /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color
to my ~/.Xresources for it to take.
Sigh.
Anyone know where the vt100 colors are being messed with? Is there any
documentation that describes where ALL the resources get played with?
How many other applications are now overriding site-wide defaults? Are
we going to need a
/etc/X11/app-defaults-i-really-mean-it-so-dont-override-me-damnit/ in
order to get site-wide defaults that don't change out from under you?
