Re: xwpe bad color in X mode

[Matthew Gabeler-Lee <msg2@po.cwru.edu>]

I have experienced similar things, the other way around, I think.
I configured Xwpe's colors for X, and when I go to console mode, the colors are
all fsck'd up.  Apparently the X color specs don't convert well to console color
specs.  I think that in a future release, the two color preferences should be
kept separate.

The other possible problem is that KDE may be trying to apply its colors to
Xwpe.  There is a checkbox somewhere in the kde control panel to disable this
behavior, although I don't remember where it is (I currently use WindowMaker with
kfm running).
