Thank you for your detailed message. Unfortunately this didn't solve my problem. I have all the files as you describe but still xfig shows up in monochrome. By the way, this is happenning in a fresh Potato install done about a month ago which I'm upgrading to the latest every weekend. Xfig has never shown its colors.
