Indeed, and I would prefer to close this one, as it is not a problem in xterm. > Anyway, having said all that, what's the "official" way to have the uxterm > default colors *automatically* white-on-black now? I'm afraid there is no "official" way ATM. Automatically merging in your ~/.Xresources in a Gnome wayland session is being discussed upstream[1]. For now, you have to do it in some startup script. Or put your resources into ~/.Xdefaults so that they are read whenever an X client starts up[2].
