Package: plasma-desktop-data Version: 4:5.3.2-2 Severity: normal Tags: patch
Hi, the file /usr/share/kdisplay/app-defaults/XTerm.ad is new with KDE 5 and causes my ~/.Xresources to be no longer honoured. After figuring out what is done here, I found that the aforementioned file uses “instance” level configuration (by application name, with xterm -name xterm being default), which has a higher xrdb(1) priority than “class” level configuration (xterm -u8 -class UXTerm, as well as xterm -class XTerm for the classic one). I have several xterm classes in my ~/.Xresources (both the default XTerm and UXTerm as well as several others), but I can now no longer set foreground and background colour for them. I just tested in-situ (with xrdb): if you change the file from… -----BEGIN full original content----- xterm*background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND xterm*foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND xterm.SimpleMenu*background: BACKGROUND xterm.SimpleMenu*foreground: FOREGROUND -----END full original content----- … to… -----BEGIN full new content----- XTerm*background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND XTerm*foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND XTerm.SimpleMenu*background: BACKGROUND XTerm.SimpleMenu*foreground: FOREGROUND UXTerm*background: WINDOW_BACKGROUND UXTerm*foreground: WINDOW_FOREGROUND UXTerm.SimpleMenu*background: BACKGROUND UXTerm.SimpleMenu*foreground: FOREGROUND -----END full new content----- … then your objective (to set the default xterm colours according to the system theme colours) will still be achieved, but users can override them locally again. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) plasma-desktop-data depends on no packages.
