Just for the record, I put up a screen dump showing xterm (with blue,
DodgerBlue and blue2 background in the left column), and rxvt, gnome-terminal
and konsole.  As will be noted, gnome-terminal's appearance is wholly unlike
the others, konsole is noticably darker (less legible than rxvt).  rxvt
coincidentally matches old-xterm colors.  Since the latter three are all
"standard", yet different, there's no point made, since the same arguments ad
nauseum can also be made against using blue2.  See

p.s: vt102 "advanced video option" refers to support for scrolling - it helps
to know what you're talking about if you choose to argue.
