Recently I began having a problem with X Window and Fedora Core 2. Various applications (xscreensaver, xterm, others) are displaying this message: <program>: can't parse color: e6e6e6 <program>: can't parse color: 000000 where "<program>" may be "xterm" etc. I am using Gnome GTK 2.0 with BlueCurve as the theme. I have found two files with e6e6e6 in them, specifying colors, but each has "#e6e6e6", not just "e6e6e6". For example, in /usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc is the line bg[NORMAL] = "#e6e6e6" I do not have a $HOME/.Xresources file. I have not edited /etc/X11/Xresources. I made an entry in rgb.txt for 230 230 230 e6e6e6 0 0 0 000000 so these "colors" are now recognized and display properly, but this cannot be right. Any help available? Mike -- p="p=%c%s%c;main(){printf(p,34,p,34);}";main(){printf(p,34,p,34);} This message made from 100% recycled bits. I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
