I still see this on intrepid.

sirianni@graves:~$ ll /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-11-03 20:03 /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt -> /etc/X11/rgb.txt
sirianni@graves:~$ ll /etc/X11/rgb.txt
ls: cannot access /etc/X11/rgb.txt: No such file or directory
sirianni@graves:~$

This is breaking vnc4server. When I try to start an xterm from a vnc session, I now get this error:

$ xterm -bg black -fg white
Warning: Color name "black" is not defined
Warning: Color name "white" is not defined

$ xcolors
/etc/X11/rgb.txt: No such file or directory

Is there a workaround for this? Where should vnc be getting the colors from?
