I managed to solve the puzzle of "who is setting this", by following the trail of breadcrumbs that I discovered by doing this: find /usr/X11R6 -type f -print | xargs grep -i beNiceToColormap (beNiceToColorMap was a resource in the same suspicious block as the background setting). It seems that it's some portion of the gnome-control-center/theme-manager/gnome-settings-daemon that's "helping" me out with this. There are a bunch of relevant files in /usr/X11R6/share/gnome/control-center-2.0/xrdb, which are being used as templates. So, now the question is, how to control this behaviour. I've currently just commented out the entries that I don't like. It sounds like KDE has a check-box somewhere that controls whether it applies colors etc... to non-kde apps. Is there something like that in gnome that I've missed? g.
