Just some questions:
could there be funny background colors being set in your xrdb (Xdefaults)?
When you select some text with the mouse, any change in color?
My vnc server and/or client have some options regarding
the use of colors (numbers of them or something like that),
does playing with that makes a difference?
(I have no problems using 9term on solaris Xvnc
with win98 and solaris viewers, both with vnc 3.? and 4.0(?),
I use 'use all available colors' in the vnc client options)
Axel.
