>Description:
     Modifying the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm/Xresources file with the entry xlogin*background:  colour   works fine for the default colours in rgb.txt
However adding a non-default colour and restarting xdm causes non-local machines (x-terms, xwin32 clients etc) to not receive the new colour with an error in /var/log/xdm.log stating: Warning: Color name "NewColour" is not defined

Running standard FreeBSD build of XFree86 4.3
However, this DOES work on the local machine (IE the machine running xdm)
>How-To-Repeat:
     As above
>Fix:
      Unknown - may be for XFree86
