Bug#673582: x11-xserver-utils: xsetroot -def doesn't

[Toni Mueller <support@oeko.net>]

Package: x11-xserver-utils
Version: 7.7~2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've just upgraded my box from Squeeze to Testing, and find that
the screen background is black instead of plaid. According to
the man page, 'xsetroot -def' (formerly: 'xsetroot -default')
should restore the plaid background.

This does not work for me on two machines, one i386 and one amd64,
both with testing as of these days, and I've not found any other
option to restore the plaid layout.

Can you please repair this?


Kind regards,
--Toni++
