Hi, 

I use fvwm2, and it works without real problem. Lots of desktop features are 
designed within .fvwm2rc. In other systems, some X local features are designed 
within a .Xdefaults file. I did not find any global template for .Xdefaults in 
Debian. Nevertheless, I wonder if creating such a file can be avoided when 
using X through fvwm2. I confess that I have not a clear idea of which 
configures what. I suppose that .Xdefaults is just fit for raw X commands and 
.fvwm2rc for the upper graphic layer, but it helps little.

For example, it has been said that running a color Xterm (which is very 
convenient) needs only to add the line 'Xterm*customization: -color'. OK. So,  
I created a .Xdefaults file into my home directory with this single line, but 
this was without any effect (in fact, I expected no more. Things are more 
complex). 

I did not even success to change the default shinning white background of the 
xterm windows (pity for my eyes !). I performed a grep white command on the 
config files, but it gave me nothing. 

Has somebody some ideas about it ?

Regards, 

JP L
