Hello,

After much futzing around, I've finally gotten the workflow of the gEDA suite
more or less working.  However, there is still one thing that is driving me
absolutely batty: the white background in PCB.

In looking through the archives, I've seen it mentioned that one way to do this
is by setting x resources with xrdb -merge.  However, this is failing to work
for me.  The lines in my .Xresources file are as follows: 

pcb.masterForm*output*background: black
pcb.elementColor: gray80

and I load it explicitly with xrdb -merge.  If I go xrdb -query, I see the above
two lines, so they are being set.  Any thoughts on what I could be doing wrong?
I am executing PCB on a remote debian machine (running the version in
debian/unstable) and displaying under Xfree86 under OS X.

Why, oh why, can't PCB use a dotfile for its preferences like this, like any
other sane program?

Thanks,

Hans Johnson
