If I invoke emacs -nw in konsole with a white background ( with any
method, even using rgb values ) emacs comes up with a gray background.

If I invoke emacs -nw in an xterm window with a white background (
with any mentod, even using rgb values ) comes up with a greenish gray
backround.

konsole has a white background/black foreground schemea that users can
pick.  If I involke emacs with white bg commands ........even in this
schema emacs still comes up gray.

"xterm -bg white" comes up white.......but invoking emacs with a
command for a white background in it still causes emacs to come up as
a greeenish gray.


In other words it doesn't matter what color schema the terminal window
has when I invoke emacs with commands to be white.  It still boots up
with another color.

I got on the konsole dev list with this question.  They didn't have an
answer.
