Perhaps there's a discrepency between /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm and your ~.Xresources? I vaguely recall having a similar problem a while back. I did two things. I edited /etc/X11/Xresources/xterm so it'd be grey90 on black, and sourced my .bashrc in .xsession to get DIRCOLORS. As far as the mouse clicks in rxvt, I never got it to work. I think maybe it doesn't take them??? I just use xterm anymore. -- +----------------------------------------------------+ | Eric G.
