When I use dselect in an Xterm the text is rather annoying compared to the way it is in a plain terminal. When I open an Xterm, by default I get black text on a white background. I am using Windowmaker, so I hold down the ctrl key and click the middle button. I then enable reverse video and get white text on a black background (the way I like it). When I run dselect the packages listed show as black text on white squares. In the description area, the text is black on white squares too. The area where there is no text, the background is black, matching the reverse video mode. In a regular terminal, it is not at all like this. In my xterm, it is rather annoying. Any suggestions, so I don't have black text on white blocks when running dselect from an xterm?
