Hello! I use KDE3.0 on FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE. My xterm won't accept the changes I have made to ~/.Xdefaults, but my emacs sure does. I /have/ run "$ xrdb ~/.Xdefaults", I even tried "$ xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults" even though I don't know what it does... Now for the idiot thing (me being the idiot, make no mistake about it) The strange thing is it all works if I run "$ xrdb ~/.Xdefaults" /after/ X and KDE has started up. My new xterms are as black and grey as I want them, without the above mentioned command, they're glaringly white. The next X-session, I have to run the same command...the changes won't become permanent. I haven't had this problem before with applications... This *is* a real problem for me, because if there is too much luminiscence from the screen my right eye will protest by giving me a headache (I have a scar on my 'darned' retina, which makes it sensitive to light...) Help is very welcome, and I will love you for ever more for it. ::Files:: .Xdefaults ====================================================================== ! 2003-06-08 00:01 fredrik.carlen@arrhythmetic.net !
