Bug#541716: xterm: colorBDMode is dead

[ben <bwpearre@gmail.com>]

Package: xterm
Version: 244-2
Severity: normal


My bash prompt is set to "%B(%?)%#%b ", which should print some stuff
in bold.  Man pages, mutt, and other packages print some stuff in
bold.

The xterm resource colorBDMode when set to true tells xterm to print
bold text in colour.  But as of the last xterm update, bold text is
printed in oh-so-sexy black-on-black when colorBDMode is on.

My xterm xresources are:

xterm*VT100*colorBDMode:  on
xterm*VT100*colorBD:      red
xterm.VT100*colorULMode:  on
xterm.VT100*underLine:    off
xterm*VT100*colorUL:      magenta
xterm.VT100.titeInhibit:  true
xterm.VT100*dynamicColors:  on
xterm*metaSendsEscape:    true
xterm*highlightSelection: true
xterm*scrollBar:        true
xterm*saveLines:        1500
xterm*reverseWrap:      true
xterm*visualBell:       true
xterm*scrollTtyOutput:  False
xterm*scrollKey:        True
xterm*foreground:       white
xterm*background:       black
xterm*cursorColor:      red
xterm*locale:           true

Disabling colorBDMode gives me standard bold, as it should.

Thanks!
