I've decided that I like my emacs to have nice green letters on dark background. To this end, I looked in the emacs manual and created a file ~/.Xdefaults with the following incantations:
emacs.background: Black emacs.foreground: LimeGreen However this seems to have no effect. I got a tip from somewhere, and added xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults to my ~/.xsession. However this only has an effect if I start emacs from the xterm started in my .xsession; if I launch emacs from the fvwm2 menus it does not work.
