If you're using KDE, make sure that there isn't an app-defaults file for the aterm under /opt/kde*. I run into this with xterms in that my $HOME/XTerm file is ignored unless I comment out everything in the /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdisplay/app-defaults/XTerm.ad file. Incidentally, the comment character in these files is ``!'' not the usual ``#''. KDE, in its infinite wisdom, seems to read its own app-defaults files _AFTER_ anything in the user's home directory (SCO OpenServer does much the same way, using proprietary color names as well which really screws things in Linux xterms).
