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?
