When the xterm package is installed, you open an xterm and you can see a=

"beautiful" black console terminal with no prompt and no characters. This i=

because the background color is not set correctly.
You have", in the /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color there=20
I suggest that the *VT100*colorBD value in /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-co=

must be white . This solves the problem (checked)
I am using Debian sid GNU/Linux , kernel 2.6.4.
