[ I just noticed that "most anyone" would not include the poor
troglodytes who must work in 8-bit mode. "xterm -bg red -fg blue"
(or any other color) gives a white-on-white window, except that the
mouse cursor is blue-on-red. ]

I've been following the deep technical discussions with interest, but
in my facility we do have a rather basic use for X11. It is used to
connect from Macs to Silicon Graphics O2 computers under Irix to run
a program remotely called XwinNMR (from Bruker) which only runs in
256 colors.
We normally use a command like 'ssh -Y user@host' to get remote
access, which worked fine under Tiger. (At least on Power PCs, we
needed the 10.4.9 update (I think) to fix a font problem with Intel
Macs).
So far I have not deployed Leopard at all due to my experiences
testing in our computer store where 256 colors just produced white on
white windows.
I assume that this is the general experience? And does anyone have
any workarounds for this issue?
Thanks,
Phil.
