Christoph Kukulies:
 |Running fvwm95-2 my color_xterms that pop up initially (by .xinitrc - I'm
 |using startx) have 3D-effect scrollbars and shaded edged pop up menues
 |but with dithered gray shades rather than the colored shades.
 |
 |Only newly created color_xterms (launched from the tool bar) show the
 |correct colors and solid colored shades. I event put the resources
 |into .Xresources - no change. Any ideas?

It sounds like the resources aren't getting xrdbed soon enough (for the
.Xdefaults/.Xresources case), or your XAPPLRESDIR/XUSERFILESEARCHPATH isn't
getting set soon enough (for the Color_xterm/XTerm app-default file case).

To cover both cases, flip these lines into the top of your .xinitrc, before
your invocation of fvwm95-2 and before invocation of your color_xterms (if
you're invoking them here and not in the .fvwm2rc95 file).  Tweak
XAPPLRESDIR to where you keep your local class resource files
(e.g. XTerm/Color_xterm).

XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/cfg/app-defaults;  export XAPPLRESDIR
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources

if [ -f $userresources ]; then
    xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
