I don't see this behavior in an update to Debian/unstable, or Debian/testing. It's possible that there's some X resource setting on your machine which has foreground pre-set, making it impossible to override. That would be either a local customization, or some desktop junk (KDE's been an offender in this area, for instance). Some details about the X resources, e.g., as seen by appres and the window manager/desktop might show the problem. -- Thomas E.
