Steve, there's no difference whether X is run from under root or
under uid!=0. There *is* another difference, however: root has a
.Xresources file, which affects appearance of xterm and some other
proggies, so that probably the "blackening" bug isn't triggered. The
"*customization: -color" line is worth checking.
