Note that you can change the color that xterm knows as "white". For example, I have XTerm*color15: gainsboro in ~/.Xresources and this means that programs running inside of xterm requesting white (color #15) will actually get gainsboro. Maybe your situation is similar. Try "xrdb -query" and grep its output or "appres xterm" or "appres XTerm". kai -- A large number of young women don't trust men with beards. (BFBS Radio)
