That is strange:

  <shelob:/tmp,1198> echo "Dtterm*background: green" | xrdb -merge
  <shelob:/tmp,1199> xrdb -query | grep -i dtterm
  *DtTerm*shadowThickness:        1
  Dtterm*background:      green
  <shelob:/tmp,1200> dtterm
[dtterm with green background pops up.  I close it.]
  <shelob:/tmp,1201> echo "Dtterm*background: pink" | xrdb -merge
  <shelob:/tmp,1202> xrdb -query | grep -i dtterm
  *DtTerm*shadowThickness:        1
  Dtterm*background:      pink
  <shelob:/tmp,1203> dtterm
[dtterm with pink background pops up.  I hastily close it. :-)]


So the proverbial answer is "works for me".

What does "xrdb -query |grep -i background" say?
