Under Athena 9.3 on any machine, if I type "xterm -rv", I get white text
on a black background.
Under Athena 9.4.1 on cheshire-cat.mit.edu, if I type "xterm -rv", I get
black text on a white background. When I ctrl-middleclick on the xterm to
get to the VT options, however, the "Enable Reverse Video" option is
already selected. Unselecting that option gives me a black background and
white text.
If I just start up an xterm with no options, I also get black text on a
white background. ctrl-middleclicking shows that "Enable Reverse Video"
is not checked.
"xterm -fg white -bg black" seems to do the right thing and give me white
text and a black background.
