Comment 3 for bug 871907

I'm hesitant to "fix" this bug, even though it affects me. There are probably almost as many users with light background terminals as there are with dark ones. So we'll just be exchanging 1 set of affected users for another set.

Seems like we would need need to extend terminal applications to be able to respond with whether they are dark or light. One simple way to do that would simply be to introduce xterm-light and xterm-dark into the global termcap database, and then have the terminals respond with that based on a checkbox.
