Bug Description
Binary package hint: vnc4server
I just installed 8.10 from CD and updated all the packages, and ran vnc4server.
It starts, but the every application complains about not being able to find any colors -- not
"black" or "white" or "blue" or .. anything. (Try "xterm -bg blue" or "xsertoot -solid black".)
I could start things in color by specifying the color by, say, rgb values: "xterm -bg rgbi:.1/.1/.3"
The only rgb.txt I have (well, had) is /usr/share/
but that's just a link to /etc/X11/rgb.txt, which doesn't exist.
I copied in a version of rgb.txt from another OS into /etc/X11/rgb.txt, and the problem went away.

I can confirm this bug, and the fix. I found a /etc/X11/rgb.txt file from hardy and put it on my system. now 'xsetroot -solid darkblue' works fine.
