For some unknown reason, this problem showed up on my system recently (XFCE / Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS system with all updates).
Deleting ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml and logging in again didn't fix it for me. (See #7) That file contains <property name="ThemeName" type="empty"/> so I don't know what theme is being used. I don't particularly want to specify a theme. Another silly thing: the launcher uses gnome-terminal when you select "Debian X Terminal Emulator" as your preferred terminal emulator. (See Applications Menu: Settings: Preferred Applications: Utilities: Terminal Emulator) My avoid-the-problem solution is to select xterm as the Preferred Terminal Emulator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980710 Title: black font on black background in xfce terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/980710/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
