UXTerm is an interesting one to check. I switched over to it and it gets the black background as expected. I'm not starting to wonder if that's what I might have been using before. Maybe xterm has always been white.
I'll attach the output of the two appres commands. It appears that uxterm is the only one that has the settings. ** Attachment added: "appres.uxterm" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30995239/appres.uxterm -- xterm background colour used to be black, now white https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
