ok (nothing unexpected there - based on the report). On my machine, running fvwm2, "xrdb -q" gives *customization: -color Kinput2*CcWnn.ccdef: ccdef.kinput2.egg XLock*logoutButton: -1 (I checked also that none of my files would be setting the resource). My /etc/X11/Xresources/x11-common file has this: ! $Id$ ! load color-specific resources for clients that have them #ifdef COLOR *customization: -color #endif ! make Xaw (Athena widget set) clients understand the delete key ! this causes problems with some non-Xaw apps, use with care ! *Text.translations: #override ~Shift ~Meta <Key>Delete: delete-next-character() The resources for xterm assume that "*customization:color" is set, while uxterm - because it borrows the XTerm resource file also is including XTerm-color (to resolve some long-ago problem in getting the color initialized). If your "xrdb -q" doesn't show the resource, then the session manager (or whatever) is not loading it. (In a quick read of the bug report, I don't see which window manager is being used - KDE or GNOME, I suppose). -- Thomas E.
