Emacs colours as set in ~/.Xdefaults

Emacs colours as set in ~/.Xdefaults

[Zaphod Beeblebrox]

Using Redhat 8.0, I'm unable to work out how to get the 'standard'
GnuEmacs colours that used to be set in ~/.Xdefaults (using Gnome).  I
remember a similar problem using KDE and the solution there was to
find the part where KDE allowed applications to set their own colours.

However, I can't find anything similar in ver 8.0 in Gnome or KDE.

Is it possible?

Try renaming .Xdefaults to .Xdefaults-hostname.

On my RH8.0 box "hostname" needs include the domain.

I don't use kde but in your home directory you should have a ".kderc"
file and a .kde subdirectory.  The info you seek might well be in one of 
those places.

Thanks for that.  Is that covered somewhere in the docs?
