My .Xdefaults file doesn't have any color definitions in it.  And I NEVER
use gtkterm, I always use xterm.

In version 0.1.2, the colors worked fine -- in 0.1.5 they do not.

That works, but...  should I have to do that?

I use Gnome, but I don't use gnome terminal or any of that... I use xterm.
I'm not sure what setting you're referring to.  But Gnome hasn't changed
between version 0.1.2 and 0.1.5...
