No, it's not ; my .bashrc ouputs ansi color escapes,
because i like to have a white background in an xterm.
In a linux term these don't work (i get grey on black),
so that's how i noticed it doesnt reset colors.
It just didn't seem right to not reset colors on logout.

Another reason i asked this is that when i use modified colors in a term,
and i start a program that also modifies colors,
there's no way for such a program to reset colors to what they were before,
because it has no way of finding out what they were,
at least no way that i know of.

A matter of taste, i guess,
i just log in as root, su to xuser , and startx,
If there's anything i want to do in the terminal (mount for example),
i usually need root for it.
It's just a single-user box.
Thanks for your reply.
