dselect was written with the assumption that your foreground color is white and the background color is black, just like on the console. If you have xterm set to not use those colors, your dselect experience will be less than good. So, easy fix place the following in .Xdefaults and .Xresources: XTerm*foreground: white XTerm*background: black hope this helps.
