You asserted on zephyr that this was new behavior in 9.0, but I also
get it (where "it" is the ls alias) when I ssh into alice-whacker, an
8.4.25 machine. It's certainly new that we have XFree 4.x client
binaries and that we use gnome-terminal by default, both of which
could affect whether ls actually displays in color in an X login.
Anyway, I agree and I'll submit the patch. Performance and
consistency of user interface sometimes trump a desire not to fiddle
around with the OS.
