I managed to solve the puzzle of "who is setting this", by following
the trail of breadcrumbs that I discovered by doing this:
find /usr/X11R6 -type f -print | xargs grep -i beNiceToColormap
(beNiceToColorMap was a resource in the same suspicious block as the
background setting).
It seems that it's some portion of the
gnome-control-center/theme-manager/gnome-settings-daemon that's
"helping" me out with this.
There are a bunch of relevant files in
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/control-center-2.0/xrdb, which are being used
as templates.
So, now the question is, how to control this behaviour. I've
currently just commented out the entries that I don't like. It sounds
like KDE has a check-box somewhere that controls whether it applies
colors etc... to non-kde apps. Is there something like that in gnome
that I've missed?
