Hi,

Thanks, i'd forgotten that .Xsession doesn't seem to be read
for resources. Anyway, i put this into ~/.Xresources:

xterm*color0: black
xterm*color1: red
xterm*color2: green
xterm*color3: yellow
xterm*color4: blue
xterm*color5: magenta
xterm*color6: cyan
xterm*color7: white
xterm*color8: black
xterm*color9: red
xterm*color10: green
xterm*color11: yellow
xterm*color12: blue
xterm*color13: magenta
xterm*color14: cyan
xterm*color15: white

And now blue is a nice dark saturated blue like on a normal linux
console. Running midnight commander now has a nice dark blue background
instead of that washed-out light blue background.

Isn't this light blue a bug in xterm? It says in "man xterm"
that color4 and color12 should default to "blue", which is
0,0,255 in /etc/X11/rgb.txt.
