This I found out by running 'xrdb -query'.  Most likely this is a result
of Gnome putting a theme on everything.  So chances are that x5250 will
have the same foreground and background settings as your xterm unless you
have xterm-specific settings in your .Xdefaults.  I didn't discover this
until now since I don't use Gnome.

I use Gnome 2.6, and I don't have these resources. I recall seeing a program that attempted to synchronize theme settings between Gtk 2, Gtk 1, Xlib and KDE at one stage, but I didn't like it and uninstalled the package.


So I can either remove the foreground and background resources (I don't
like this option very much) or I can ship some reasonable resource files
with x5250 (I like this better but proper installation may be problematic
for some users).  Similar to the way that tn5250 install an XTerm resource
file, x5250 probably needs an X5250 resource file in
/usr/X11/app-defaults.

To me, more specific settings in /etc/X11/app-defaults/X5250 seems like the "right" way to do it.
