All,

On Arch when I run vim in konsole in R14, when I exit a file, I get the following warning every time:

Warning: Color name "BACKGROUND" is not defined

I don't know if this is a tde problem not setting "BACKGROUND" or if it is a vim problem not finding "BACKGROUND" it should set or handle.

Has anyone seen this warning? Where should background be set and to what? It kind of looks like the basic xterm settings are not being found, but I've checked settings in konsole and they look like they do in other installs. Is this something that isn't being set by starttde?

It's not a standard environment issue, because I set:

18:19 valkyrie:~/Documents/bld/twcs5> export BACKGROUND=#000000 18:20 valkyrie:~/Documents/bld/twcs5> set | grep BACKGROUND BACKGROUND='#000000' _=BACKGROUND

and I still get:

18:20 valkyrie:~/Documents/bld/twcs5> vi PKGBUILD Warning: Color name "BACKGROUND" is not defined

Any thoughts?

On my system, BACKGROUND is set neither in Konsole 3.5.13, nor in xterm, nor in Terminal (the Xfce terminal emulator). And vim (7.2.416) doesn't complain. My ~/.vimrc contains set bg=dark , perhaps you should add a similar line to your .vimrc ?
