Package: xpdf
Version: 3.03-10
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


I am a long time user of Xpdf, which I really like and use daily. 

I hoped that upgrading to the current Debian stable would fix a minor by 
annoying bug: neither the -fg nor the -bg option of Xpdf work. Here is an 
example with a PDF file (produced with LaTeX):

~/tmp>ls -l 
-rw-r--r-- 1 seb seb 296362 Mar 23 22:59 a.pdf

~/tmp>\xpdf -fg black a.pdf 
error: "black" file not found

~/temp>\xpdf -bg red a.pdf            
error: "red" file not found

~/tmp>

and no window opens, whereas all is well with "\xpdf a.pdf".

-fg black is, in fact, the default behaviour of Xpdf, but no other color seems 
to work either (I'd love cyan4, as in my Xterms...). Same if I try using 
-foreground (or --foreground).

Strangely, the -rv (reverse video) works, although it should be equivalent to
-fg white -bg black (which doesn't work).

When I work on a large screen at night, I really like the background of all 
windows to be black. The rest of the time, the standard black fg on white bg 
is fine.


Am I missing something so self-evident that it is not even in the man page?
Can you reproduce this bug, which has been present in Xpdf for as long as I 
can remember, at least 5 years anyway?

Please let me know if I can help by giving more examples.


Best regards,
Sébastien Desreux.
