Hi Jeremy,
I've installed the 2.6.0_rc1, and so far so good. Of course, you already know that the xterm changing color issue is still there. :-) I've gotten into the habit of moving any new X window that I open, switch spaces and then switch back. The colors still shift, but at least then all the windows are consistent in their appearance. It's now been 4.5 months since I first reported this, can you give me some indication of where it stands on the priority list?
