The problem is that we can't rely on a C Pre-Processor to be on the system, so we don't pre-process the ~/.Xresources file ... here's a similar bug report with a bit more info from Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/21392 On Aug 22, 2010, at 20:07, Christof Wolf wrote:
Jeremy,
I am on 2.6.0 alpha2, xorg-server 1.8.99.906, something strange happens to xterm. If I start X11 there is one xterm window open - which is fine, but if I start another one from the menu (edit>xterm) I got a black window.
I got following messages:
