From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: I upgraded from RH 7.3 to RH 8.0. I had customized Nedit's text foreground and background colors, among other things, using .Xdefaults, as indicated in Nedit's documentation. When upgrading to RH 8.0, however, these settings are ignored. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Nedit Actual Results: Text foreground and background colors are Nedit's defaults. Expected Results: Colors should be as specified in .Xdefaults. Additional info: Here is my .Xdefaults: nedit*text.background: black nedit*text.foreground: #AAF nedit*text.selectForeground: black nedit*text.selectBackground: #AAF nedit*text.highlightBackground: white nedit*text.cursorForeground: white My machine is an IBM thinkpad A30p with an ATI Mobility Radeon graphics card.
This is not an nedit bug, but an xinitrc one. Changing component.
Put these settings in .Xresources instead, and it should work as expected. Does it?
Yes, moving the settings to .Xresources works. Thanks.
.Xdefaults was deprecated 2 years ago by X.org/XFree86.org, and remained in Red Hat Linux as a legacy compatibility feature during the 7.x releases. It is no longer a supported legacy compatability feature in Red Hat Linux 8.0. Closing bug NOTABUG
