Well, I guess the original change was to close a very longstanding bug report. That was hamm when it was unstable, so normal users should not have encountered that change. I propose xbase allowing people to choose between black or white background during postinst or maybe in some kind of xbaseconfig script. I know the plan for X is to break up xbase into many smaller pieces, so the configuration option could be available in the future xterm package.
