I'm building a replacement machine for a long serving workstation
that finally died a hardware death.
I've built a new machine updated to 6 CURRENT, and installed the
KDE metaport. I have a customize XTerm application defaults
file from a backup of the old machine. However, I can't seem to get
xterm to honor it. I'm running xterm from teh menu bar in KDE
with alauncher, and the -ls command line option.
I use ksh, and I have my .profile set up to set the following
environment variable:
PPLRESDIR=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/:/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults:/home/stan/.X11/app-defaults
In /home/stan/.x11/app-defaults I have a file name XTerm that
looks like this:
XTerm*scrollBar: True
XTerm*saveLines: 2048
XTerm*ttyModes: erase ^H intr ^C quit ^\ kill ^U start ^Q stop ^S swtch ^@ susp ^Z

XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override Meta<KeyPress>: insert-seven-bit()
XTerm*background: Black
XTerm*foreground: Yellow
XTerm*cursorColor: White

But despite that the Xterm comes up in white with black text. So,
I put the same file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults, but it
still does not honor it
Can anyone sugest what I am doing wrong?
