Option question

[Jasper Huijsmans]

I'm not sure about this, but I think this is how it works.

I'm afraid its either on or off. No configuration possible. Basically what
happens is that xfce translates the palet colors to a set of x resource
lines and merges those with the existing configuration. This is a fixed set
of rules, somewhere in the code. Of course it isn't suposed to generate
white on white text.

I guess in theory you could partly undo the changes made by xfce by putting
the appropriate line in an .Xresources file and doing something like xrdb
-merge ~/.Xresources (this is a guess!) every time after xfce applies its
settings (on startup and restart or from the setup dialog).

The above is highly speculative and based on memories from reading the code
several month ago, so I'm really not sure if it is (still) true.
