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)
