Folks,

Having just completed my first NetBSD install on an aging IPX (for which, many
thanks to all concerned :-), I've hit upon a trivial problem that reduces
the utility of xlockmore somewhat.

The screen saver runs throughout with a white background.

I've been through the literature, and found only a reference to altering the
colours for the password screen; these work, but in the inverse of the expected
fashion. Thus specifying a 'white' background, and 'black' foreground, gives
the traditional white text on black for password entry, but no-where else.

This leads me to suspect that something's loose under the bonnet, somewhere,
but I'm clueless as to what.

Help? ;-)

Dan.
